Its over. So slow to arrive but so quick to leave. It feels like it was just Memorial day and now its the final day of summer. Why does summer go so fast and winter drags on like a slow boat to China? The simple answer is, I love the summer and hate winter. The warm weather, running, playing tennis and being outdoors are no small reasons. The weather this summer was not great. It was a little rainier and cooler but still better than any winter. Tennis was delightful as always. Running was grueling at times but it is supposed to be tough. The feeling inside at this time of year is always remorse and sadness at the end, as opposed to excitement and anticipation at the beginning.
Fall itself is not a bad season. The weather isn't horribly cold at the start, so its bearable. The problem is, I know what comes after Fall. The season of cold, death and despair. Winter is three months of frozen hell. The witch of winter keeps one inside and constantly cold. I need endless summer and warmth but in this climate that's not a possibility.
What are my alternatives? Moving to a warm climate? That's not going to happen. The only thing I can do is, know in my mind that there will be next spring and summer. Its an eon away but it will happen, it must. All I can do for now is hold on.
It's All I Can Do
