Don't you find it amazing how we, as a people, forget things so quickly? In the midst of a blazing hot summer we wish for winter and then when it is bitterly cold we wish for the warmth of summer. We, as a people, do this with a lot of things. For me, it is bugs.
Even when it is hot in summer I know that it is better than the bone chilling cold of winter. Sadly, every year I forget about the bugs...more specifically the evil, blood sucking mosquito.
Seriously, how is one to enjoy spring and summer (and fall) if the blood suckers are out in full force? What on earth is the possible reason for having them?
This evening, as we held an outdoor pack meeting, and I was getting eaten alive, I realized that I have been hiding from the seasons.
Too cold? I stay indoors - unless forced out for church or grocery shopping. Too hot? I stay indoors - unless forced out for church or grocery shopping. I do the same in fall & spring - too rainy, too muggy, too windy, etc.
I have become an outdoor weakling.
Walking has been helping with this. It has forced me outside even on extremely cold, wet, windy and muggy days. I have learned quickly that I can handle walking in lots of different kinds of weather & temperatures (but honestly, not too cold - then I just make a mad dash for the mall). I need to get over the mosquito (bug) problem. Figure out how I dealt with it as a kid - because being outside was always best - and stop hiding out in my home....because that is no way to live a life! :)
Happy Walking!
