I’m not sure if it is just a product of getting older or what but I don’t seem to deal with the cold as well as I used to. It is hovering around the freezing mark here, and there is no snow. Where I grew up winter would be much colder and the snow could be very deep. We would spend hours outside playing when we were kids: sledding down hills, skating on ponds, making forts and snow angels. In all that time I don’t remember ever complaining that it was too cold to play outside. And yet, today, I almost turned down an invitation to go for a walk on my lunch hour because it was too cold! When did I start having a problem with being cold? Is this something that happens to us all as we get older? Whatever the reason, I have decided not to let being cold stop me from enjoying being outside. The bonus now is coming in and having a nice hot cup of tea (or hot chocolate) to warm me up.

I find that yes as I age I get a tiny bit colder each winter and also my weight fluctuations. When I get down to my ideal weight I am always cold but when I bounce up a little I am not so cold. I’ve learned layering is the way to go now.

lol…I was just talking about this yesterday with my mom. I used to adore playing in the snow! Now it’s only a few minutes and I’m cold and uncomfortable and I want to go inside for a hot toddy! (okay so going outside gave the excuse for the toddy….) My mom said it’s because I have more responsabilities now that I’m the adult. I have to worry about small fingers staying warm, and when the baby is waking up from his nap, and wether we all ate lunch. Gone are the carefree days of youth!!!
