I’m beginning to get used
to this winter weather. I don’t like it but I can tolerate it for a little
longer.
Dennis the Intrepid has
been my inspiration. Yesterday he set out for a walk in a snowstorm. The
temperature was 13º F. He wasn’t gone for long before he returned. Ah, I
thought, even Dennis can’t take it. I was wrong. He had come back to get his
sunglasses to keep snowflakes out of his eyes. I see by his example that the
only way to get past the weather is to ignore it and go about one’s business.
Today is bitterly cold
again and grey. The house is festooned with icicles. Never mind. I’m making
chicken soup and apple pie while Ray Charles serenades me. I’m determined to be
happy with what I have – a warm house, plenty of food, and a good dog to keep
me company. I'm a lucky woman.
