delightful and crazy

i live in a place with dramatic seasons. it's easy to embrace the season mid-july. barefeet, rising and setting with the sun. energy seems boundless. time is of no issue. our skin is tanned and our muscles toned. faces smile, bathed in the glow of the moon rising over lake superior. all senses are stimulated with the beauty of summer on a body of water in a city filled with people, good food, good beer, warm breezes, sweet smells.

now it is winter. much time is spent in a chair by the fire. somehow 10pm is past my bedtime. my skin has paled. i don't see my friends as much. i cherish the time i have alone. i read a book a week. i cook all of our meals at home. i have excellent relationships with my pets. the house is clean. i put my pajamas on at 6pm. when the temps rise above 12 degrees i venture out. time outside is always brief. and by the end you find yourself anticipating the comfort of a warm cup of tea. and the chair by the fire.



it is delightful and crazy to live in a place like this.
