it has been warm down here in south florida. unseasonably warm. like around 80 degrees every afternoon. living in a climate that is boiling h-o-t for most of the year, i look forward to the cooler weather that comes with wintertime. (let’s be real here, it never really gets that cold this close to the equator.) but this year we’ve only had a few cool days and nights. i crave more of that crisp scarf + jeans weather.
i’ve been moaning and complaining a bit about it lately. wishing for more cooler weather. wanting what i don’t have.
time for a shift in my thinking. time to embrace what i am being given. the most beautiful and perfect weather. days of no humidity and no extreme heat. sunshine in excess. beautiful breezes. time to be grateful for what i do have and stop focusing on what is not.
the occasional cool day will arrive here and there. and i’ll wrap my new grey scarf around my neck and soak it up when it happens.
in the meantime, i am going to enjoy all of the things that i can do in these beautiful warm winter days…
- get back to my running program at the park down the road
- open the sunroof on the minivan and blast some adelle
- take family walks with the boys in the wagon
- spend a little extra time letting the boys run around after school while chatting with friends
- wear my favorite flip flops all the time
- take lots of photos of the boys playing in the front yard in the magic sunset light with out freezing my fingers off
