		<description>Hi Wendy,

What a beautiful way to describe the transition! I, too, enjoy the contrast, and if not the extra pounds gained, the comfort food consumed:)

		<description>So true on the change of seasons.  I live in Wisconsin so our winters are long, very long.  We can suffer through them or find ways to embrace them...skiing, snowshoeing, hiking, shoveling...it is a choice.  However, to some degree, I think people enjoy the hybernation quality of winter...slowing down, resting, comfort food, and those extra few pounds.  It&#039;s all covered up by layers of clothes anyway.  Then, just like the trees in spring, those first few warmer days shift us into a different gear and we get excited about all the new life around us.  I think the contrast can be good for us.  I take January off from my normal workout schedule and revel in laziness for a while.  I think it&#039;s good for my soul :)</description>
