It's officially Spring in Massachusetts, USA. But, as usual, it's still cold and damp, no buds on the trees yet or new life in the ground or warm sun. A friend complained, "Why do I live here and suffer this weather? I hate it." I couldn't argue , I don't like the cold either. But I wondered, do I suffer this weather? Or do I find it painful. Is there a difference?

As I 'marinated' this thought, I realized that there is difference. And it's significant. That's why I'm sharing my thoughts here, with you.
