Yeah, what she said. Living where i live, i can hate hills and be miserable because they're pretty much unavoidable, or I can just treat them like what they are; part of the landscape. If i had my druthers, i'd be on a 1% grade going downhill, but if I am on a hill, i use my gears and start climbing. I love it when i find myself going faster up a hill than I usually go. But somehow I just can't bring myself to love the hills.
I love it when I'm finished with a hill. That's about as close to loving hills as I get.
The hill I loved being done with the most was Hurricane Ridge, it was 17 miles with 5200 feet of elevation gain.
