    Gee my heart bleeds for you Noodles, especially those days when it hit -49 with the windchill here!

    Oh, and we usually have a couple of snow falls between now and April so I don't officially pack away my fall/winter clothes until May!

    On that note...Happy and grateful to live in a beautiful country with season changes - my favorite time of year is fall

    Thanks Teufelchen. He is doing much better.

    Noodles - I like my seasons, and as much as I don't like the cold, I would not want to live somewhere that warm.

    Oh... fall. My favorite, too, Mauvais. Actually, this weather is pretty nice right now. It's going up to 7 degrees celcius today, and I've hung out my laundry. I'm grateful for that.
    I'm seriously thinking of setting up my hammock. Although I inadvertantly left the poles out all winter, and some of them are still imbedded in the snow...
    And I'm grateful for all my wonderful, supportive friends and family.

    7 Degrees Celcius?! That's cold.

    I like the seasons...really I do. I miss that about Oregon. But I just cant live where it gets too cold for long months at a time. My arthritis just about crippled me in the winters of 1999 & 2000 and I was just a human body in a bed. My hubby says "Angel, you were so bad you didn't even get on the COMPUTER for days..." Now thats bad. I vaugely remember much cept that I couldn't walk down stairs so he would bring me my meals to my bed. Chemo didn't help matters any.

    We sure get alot of snow-birds here from your country...and from our cold states. That's why Arizona is full of senior citizens in the winter...they all come here to de-frost!

    I am grateful that I have good friends that love me enough to know I can't BS them about my feelings no matter how hard I try and even though things will always change, they'll stand by me with those changes and help me along. (Hidden meaning behind this...will explain soon soon soon!! )

    The first winter i moved up north I spent in bed, or running to a hot bubble bath and back to bed. literally. begged my hubby please take me home. it has gotten a little better but i still hate winter. guess you can't take the southern gal out of me.

    oh ellis....... Actually I am happy and grateful to see some sun today too -although it is bitter cold out. It was grey and rainy/snowing for the last few days - good to feel the sun on my face this morning

    I'm so excited that the time changed! It was a pain getting up this morning, but when I got out of class at 6:50 it was still light outside! Yay, no more walking across campus in the dark!

    I agree, Hannah!

    It's another beautiful day! (cold, but we won't mention THAT, will we, Mauvais. )
    I've started some new meds, and I've got the day to myself... feeling pretty damned good.
