Cold

I stepped outside this morning into the unstirring cold.  The moon hung still in the sky, framed in my vision by my own frozen breath.  I wish I had taken a picture.  I told myself, again, to start carrying my camera with me every where.

Cold.

Biting.

I can feel the vitamin D draining out of me.

Grumpy... Impatient..Irritable... Cold.

I understand a bear's need to hibernate.  I would like a nap, well, at any given point in my day when it is this cold outside.

I am grateful for a warmer forecast, a rise in the temperatures.  For tonight, I am grateful for an electric blanket on my bed, and the end of a polar day.
