Yes, I know it is January and this cold weather is to be expected. I don't have to like it but just endure it. This too shall pass, however so slowly it seems. The temperature today is lower than my age so it's going to take a fire or a really good sale to get me out of the house. I don't like to bundle up because it interferes with my ability to move.
We can endure, tolerate and survive through more than we think we can. My two years living in the Chicago area is proof of that. I thought I was a frozen dead woman walking up there in the land of no sweet tea.
I feel for the homeless, both human and animals, on days like these. Be sure to be thankful for the things we often take for granted...heat, power, shelter, warm clothing and security.
