On Sundays, I usually go grocery shopping. The kids and my husband went skiing for the day, so I enjoyed a nice, quiet Sunday morning, but knew the trip to the grocery store was lurking. I had to go, and leave the peace of the house.
With my shopping list, I headed out the door. Before leaving, I looked at our thermometer and it said a balmy 38 degrees out. With one of the coldest Februarys on record, 38 degrees is warm.
I looked through my jackets, and found my winter vest.
And I was so excited to not have to be all bundled up, it my down feather coat. It was light and springy today, at 38 degrees.
Traveled the world as an expat in 2010 and 2011, only to return back to the United States, a stronger and a more global person. Trying to balance having a full-time job as a teacher, being a mom of 2 active kids, and being a wife. Learned so much about the world and different cultures, will I ever feel comfortable again in my own culture?
Oh, that sounds brutal - glad you had a reason to get outside and enjoy the weather!
ReplyDeleteWe're at a balmy 54 degrees here in I-DA-HO today. People are out on bikes, waling their dogs, playing ball--all w/out jackets. It's not at all uncommon to see people in shorts and flip-flops year round.
ReplyDeleteWow. I just cannot comprehend weather so cold that makes 38 degrees warm! :)
ReplyDeleteI take for granted how easy I have it out in sunny San Diego! Stay warm out there.
