How can snow have this much of an effect on my life?

I'm feeling a little bummed out right now. I hate the weather, more specifically I hate driving in the weather. I'll admit I haven't had a whole ton of experience driving in snowy conditions, hence the reason why I am apprehensive to go out and travel in it. But as a result of that, I feel inadequate. No one seems okay with the fact that I just don't like it. I realize that it is something I just have to do which is why I've been doing more of it lately and pushing myself to go out. However, I just feel like a disappointment. And not just to everyone else, but to myself as well.

Yesterday someone was a little fired up and made a comment about hating Erie snow and then said, "You start crying at the first sight of snow." That made me sad because I realized in that moment that I disappoint this person too.

Then today Steve had a car issue and needed some help. He called me and I was more than willing to help find a solution. I wasn't sure that I would "be able" to drive in the snow, but I knew I could find someone who would. But if the solution wasn't me, then he didn't want my help. I felt so useless. I felt like such a disappointment. I felt like he is getting the short end of the stick on this one. That while I am marrying someone fantastic who adds so much to my life, he is marrying me...someone who doesn't want to drive in the snow.

And today is our two year anniversary. What a way to celebrate, huh?
