... On Such a Winter's Day...
I don't recognize that bright yellow thing in the sky. I want to stare at it. It makes me feel warm and makes me smile. It makes me want to go out and do stuff even though it's freezing cold outside.
I think I was a plant in the previous life. I probably spent my days in Earth's Great Garden using the powerful energy of the Sun to create complex carbohydrates and sugars. Maybe I played with Caterpillars and Lady Bugs.
The local NBC news reported that Central Ohio experienced more cloudy days than Seattle, Washington this year. Ugh. Too bad the Grunge music scene never really took off here (as it was purported to be a long time ago...)
Stress and madness and craziness aside, I love the Holiday season: spending even more time with friends and family, wonderful seasonal foods, hell I even enjoy venturing out to the mall to watch crazy people plow through each other to get a copy of Hannah Montana for the Nintendo DS. It emphasizes what little sanity I have in MY life.
I just hate Winter weather. Wait, no I don't. I can deal with the cold. I love wearing layers and layers of clothing. It's like wearing a suit of armor (the best feeling is coming home, removing my battle gear, and hiding under a blanket on the couch to play video games or watch a movie). I just hate shoveling my driveway and driving in snow.
And the title of this journal entry is false. The Winter Solstice is December 21st. Another ugh.
I'm counting down the days until Spring...
