снег | snow | თოვლი | sneeuw | schnee | neige | сніг

The title of this posts gives away the content, namely: snow. Yes ladies and gentlemen, it has been snowing in Ukraine since mid-November, and now, mid-March, it still hasn't stopped.

In the beginning snow is nice, snow is very beautiful and it makes you feel all christmassy inside. After one month (or perhaps earlier) the downsides of snow begin to irritate you: the slipping and falling, the cold, the wet feet, your shoes beginning to fall apart, the constantly necessity of a hat and a scarf. All making you stay inside more and more, canceling dates with friends because the ten minute walk to the metro has gone up to a twenty minute walk.

However, yesterday I made a life-changing decision:

I made peace with the snow.



It is very easy, you just decide there is snow, it will be there, and you can better enjoy it than have it ruining your good mood.

And strangely enough: it has worked ;).
