Snow and Cold

Winter came early this year.  Many people are complaining about it.  One thing I have learned is that complaining just makes it worse.  It makes more sense for me to simply get out and deal with it.  Boots, warm gloves, hat, scarf and an appropriate jacket.  I live in Minnesota, so I have many jackets.  Warm weather, rain gear, dry and snowy, wet snow, dreadful cold.  Each of these can be supplemented with a sweater or some other kind of layer.  Once I get outside I am usually fine.  I like hearing/feeling the sound of boots on snow or ice - listen some time when you are out.  I focus on breathing - through my nose to warm the air entering my lungs.  I like the chilling breeze on my exposed cheeks.   I love the sensation of being able to be outside in the cold without it being a challenge.  I like the muffled quietness.
