When it’s cold I feel refreshed and invigorated for a little while until I feel cold to the bone. When it’s cold and a chill sets in, it feels cozy to put on a warm sweater and have a hot cup of tea.

From my warm habitat, I step out on the porch where I can watch the heavens emptying their wares. Clouds, rain, ice, and snow are sometimes predictable, but no one really knows when water will change to ice or blue skies will fill with gray storm clouds. I see predictions and I try to dress for what might come. But when it’s cold, it might catch me unprepared.

When I have a cold glass of water or soda on a sizzling day, I plop some ice cubes in my drink and bask in the joy of a cold container against my cheek. I feel the coolness on my lips, and down my throat as my body cools down. When it’s 105 degrees, I can’t wait for the cold. This year, I questioned whether I would feel cool rain drops falling on my head and hear the roar of thunder. I will anxiously await winter, a time when it’s cold.
