February 24th 2015

I hate really really cold days.

My body does not like

really hot

or really cold.

I am well aware that I live in Canada.

I am aware it is February

and Canada has snow,

but buried in 3 foot snowbanks...

is making me a little insane

and I am starting to hermit-ize.

I want out...

but I hate boots and coats and mitts.

I want to play

but I like summertime parties 

and barbeques.

I always pictured frosty 

as a roly, poly, friendly giant.

A beloved, wonderful character 

in a Christmas story I love.

Lately though,

I have been thinking of him more like this:

It will be lovely 

talking about summer harvests

and fresh vegetables 

and cooking plans

tomorrow at coffee with the girls.

Went for my weekly walk again tonight.

For the third week in a row,

I managed to walk 1 km in 30 minutes.

I am not getting any farther ahead

but not falling behind either.

Now that I have that in place 

and I am trying to eat better,

I would like very much to start cooking.

I would love to take a cooking course.

One step at a time.

February 24 

is the 55th day of the year 

in the Gregorian calendar. 

There are 310 days remaining until the end of the year.

Good night from John Street.
