Thinking of a lovely winter in a sweltering summer...

   This summer, the missus and I are not exactly loving the summer. It's been insanely hot. We've seen days where it's consistently 40 degrees celcius. Combine that with renting a really shitty old apartment in a poorly-maintained, stuffy building, and you have a crappy situation. We even have a negligent landlord that won't have our recently backed-up kitchen and bathroom sinks fixed. Ummm...grrr...

   Well, this lovely girl, a northern girl, is enjoying a beautiful and crisp winter day. She values the experience of taking one's time to take things in, feel nature, and generally being a lover of nature, innocence, and valuing an honest heart. Her heart and soul is embedded in integrity. That was taught to her by her wise elders. They taught her to respect nature, remember the animals, value clean water, treat people with respect, and truly live every moment.

   Next time, you find yourself in a sweltering hot day, think of the northern girl and her land of ice and snow. You may just find that this vision makes everything okay.  X
