Night before last, our temperature dropped 40 degrees in a few hours. This morning it was 25 degrees when I woke up. Winter blew in right on time for the first winter month and the big light change this weekend.
I went out for a walk with three layers on ... and it wasn't enough. Time to break out the down jacket and turn on the heat, which has been off since April.
Though in the depths of winter I might fantasize about living in a place where it's always warm, I never get too far. As much as I grumble about the cold, I like seasonal change, am charged up by it.
So today, on the coldest morning of the season, I will try to concentrate on the difference ... and not the deficit.
