Cool Weather

Cool weather has come to Tennessee. I love this part of the year, when the air is crisp and feels new and fresh. By next spring I'll be ready for the wet blanket of humidity again, but for now I'm glad to say goodbye to it. My that does sound vapid. Of course I like cold weather; everyone is ready for the respite after a long hot summer. But in expressing my humanity, expressing something so many others are feeling, am I not part of a joyous chorus? I need to stop rethinking my feelings in the light of what other people might think of them. Being excited about the cold weather is a valid emotion.
