I love the cold...

I think I love it because it gives me a sharper awareness. I have always loved the seasons and the changes in the weather, especially the fall and winter months. It touches my soul in a way that no other time of year does. It just makes me feel good... it awakens my need to experience all the things I love about it... the leaves changing, hot chocolate and fires in the fireplace, the smell is intoxicating....snuggling under blankets... and the crisp chill in the air sparks a much needed energy in me that I crave. I feel so much more alive when it's cold!

I feel the opposite about the cold.. and actually believe I function better if properly hydrated.. in the heat. :) I live in a pretty hot desert climate for chunk of the year.. and prefer that over even something like 50 degrees. I just am not a cold weather person - even if it means looking cool in a sweet jacket or somethin, I prefer the heat. Haha..See ya on the next post.

Probably the reason I love it so much is because there is so little of it to enjoy where I live, in the tropical climate of Florida, where there is an overabundance of heat and humidity 95% of the year :) The change is refreshing, especially when I get to dig out my sweater!
