Random Thought of the Day

Winter is supposed to be cold. I find it amazing that so many people are complaining about how cold it is. I love the winter. I love the cold. I love that I was at a spa in Queens in an outdoor hot tub with my hair freezing in the winter air watching the moon rise and the sunset on a wintery sky. You know that sky right? The sky so blue, the sun so bright and that orange/red reflecting off the buildings, it's winter light. The trick to this weather is to dress right. I have a winter parka from Landsend that covers my butt, boots from Quebec, a fur hat from Russia, a neck warmer and Patagonia capilene long underwear I wear over my pants (if need be). I ride my bike and feel the frigid air on my cheeks and breathe in the arctic air that feels so clean and pure (even though it's NYC). The only thing missing is the snow. So stop complaining, get some proper clothing and stop and smell the cold air. And remember Winter is supposed to be cold.
