I haven't blogged in a long time. So you know how when you get back together with an old friend after a long while, it is sometimes hard to get talking? Isn't it true that the weather is usually a great way to break the ice? Well, here are my weathery chats:
It's November, but it feels like January outside. I was told that I shouldn't think it's cold and I'll feel warm. I keep putting this idea to the test. This is what I've found:
1. It doesn't make it easier to go out the door
2. Once I get used to it, it's true - maybe it isn't that bad.
3. It might not be that bad, but it isn't June outside. It is really COLD!!! So is this mind trick a brink of my integrity? Am I lying to myself?
buurrrrrrrrr!!!! You'd think a South Dakota girl could handle it. I remember walking home from school when it was in the 10s. I remember scraping my windows before and after seminary class. I remember shoveling snow off the driveway with dad. I remember making deep winding snow forts in the banks that would pile up at the end of our driveway.
But, I don't live in South Dakota any more! However, I shouldn't fool myself and think that Washington, DC is going to treat me any better. It is known for it's humid windy winters that bite your bones. No joke - it bites!
I'm beginning to think cold weather gets colder as I get older - doesn't matter where I live.
Hmmm. I wonder how I'd feel about cold weather in Florida...
