Freezing

When I was really young, like in my teens, I was freezing a lot. I was skinny, and lived in a really cold country. Freezing was normal.

These days, and especially since I moved into my thermo-insulated apartment, I have never been cold. Add to that, some hormone-related issues that have been circulating in my body lately, much to my annoyance, and that's given me even more heat, I had forgotten what it was to be cold.

Until today. That felt good. We walked in a park, me barefoot in sandals, as one does when it's sunny, but I didn't realize that the wind was so chilly. It was maybe 13°C and after three hours I was feeling cold. Like freezing.

It made me think how lucky I am to be able to then walk into a friends place, warm and nice, and be served a delicious dinner.

And now I'm back at home where it's also nice and warm. Lucky me!
