Dear Friends,
During the winter months, it is hard for me to feel like I
am normal. I do suffer from what is called the winter blues. I don’t like the
winter because of the cold and lack of activity. I try to be active during the
winter but it is hard for me because I hate this time of year. I wish I knew
where I was going with this entry but I guess this is going to be a rant of why
I dislike the winter and also why it is so hard for me to be active during this
time of the year.
As a kid, I like winter to a point. I loved the snow. I
loved the snow days off school. I also loved the feeling that snow can shut
down everything. However, as I got older, winter is a depressing time. The cold
makes it hard to be positive. I realized this actually during the winter of
1996. Winter in the city is different than winter in the country. I also
learned that some years ago. Basically, as an adult, I dislike winter.
It is hard for me to be active during the winter because of
the weather and also the cold. I don’t think no one wants to be outside doing
anything during the winter. When I would catch a bus in the city during the
winter, I realized standing outside in the winter is not for me. You could
catch a cold standing outside for too long. I am not a winter person.
I guess my biggest issue with winter is that I live in the Midwest .
Unlike most parts of the country during the winter, the East Coast and the Midwest
catch hell during this time of year. I would love to live elsewhere but I have
my reasons to stay at least for now. I guess for now, I should adapt a love it
or leave it mentality. For now, this is going to be an issue that I will always
have a problem with. There will be more to come.
