I may or may not be dreaming of a beach right now...or have had a pineapple shake... 0r been listening to ukulele music the last hour...
Does anyone else find it hard to be inspired this time of year? Maybe I'm one of those weirdo sun freaks that shuts down in the middle of winter, but honestly I can't imagine anyone who wakes up in February saying "I love this month! The bitter cold, the desolate trees, the lack of sunshine...mmmm I just adore this time of year!" Maybe the polar bears, but this survey is for humans only!
Seriously, it's just a trying time of year in these cold corners of the universe. A So-Cal girl relocated to the frozen tundra, I certainly have discovered that people who live through these winters really are more tough! I saw an eighty-year-old woman shoveling her driveway the other day with the gusto of a high school jock and thought to myself, "I bet she has a lot of character and strength." This weather just does that to people. Cold? Stop crying and chip the ice off your windshield already!
I'd like to think that living here has made me more courageous, but I think my tough shell starts breaking up about the middle of February because I begin to transform my apartment into a tropical haven - heat cranked, shorts and a tank top, and yes - the pineapple shakes.
