Are we warm? Yes
Are we hot? Sometimes
Are we cold? NO!
Do we feel guilty? Not really. However, we do hate that our friends and family are suffering with ice storms, single-digit temps, and dreary days.
This past year we have "Liked" as our friends and family posted on Facebook of their trips to the beach to put their toes in the sand. We were happy for them that they were having fun, enjoying life, and getting away from their normal routines. We did wonder why they chose to make these trips when the weather at home was wonderful. Vacations are typically scheduled....so why not schedule that beach trip for a time that you really might want to "get away" from the cold?
So, if you're reading this and are offended, I don't apologize. Just stop reading. This is our blog, not a social media site where our posts are forced upon you. This is similar to a lady at the park that was fussing about her daily television shows being interrupted over and over again by Justin Beiber's recent arrest in Miami. She was being forced to watch these news broadcasts over and over. Well, it seemed really simple to us.....turn the TV off and do something else for heaven's sake.
So don't hate us for spending January in the Florida Keys. We are trying to live an active life while we are still young enough to do the things we enjoy, instead of spending the day huddled under an afgan looking at our tablets and laptops.
So, other than sending a few "sunny" pictures by text to our closest friends, and an occasional beautiful sunset picture being posted on Facebook, we are quietly doing high 5's, happy dances, all the while slathering ourselves with sunscreen.
