Remember when...

It's been a long, hard winter; there's no doubt about it. And now after weeks of record cold temperatures, ice, snow, backaches, heartaches and more aggravation than anyone would care to admit, it seems that Old Man Winter is finally ready to call it quits for this year.
But let's be honest. Winter didn't always fill our hearts with dread.
Do you remember when...
A few inches of snow was no big deal?
You prayed for a snow day before you went to bed?
You spent hours making snow angels?
You and your friends made the coolest snow fort ever?
You got an adrenaline rush just by standing at the top of the biggest sledding hill in town?
Do you remember...
The surge of excitement and fear you experienced as you jumped on to your sled and whizzed head first down the hill?
Snowball fights?
Leaping into snow banks?
Trying to catch snow flakes on your tongue?
Making a snowman?
Smiling when the the weatherman predicted snow?
The blizzard of '78, '95 or 2010?
Do you feel old?
I do.
Until next time, "That's life..."
