Long Winter

Why do the winter's seem longer & darker each year? Is it that the calendar has changed, the earth rotation is off, there are more clouds or is it just my own personal perception? Am I growing cataracts on the lenses my eyes, did I forget to take off my sunglasses or do I need to wash my windows? Probably none of the above. I think that I'm just not having fun anymore. maybe I'm just depressed from lack of sunlight or maybe I just need new & exciting experiences. Since I am in the last third of my life-line, I want to have more fun. Maybe I'll go to Fla to visit my cousin, Jacque, next winter, and then on to Ariz to visit my nieces, Stephanie and Julie. Then to California to visit my aunt Bette and cousin Debbie. That should keep me warm most of the winter and provide new and exciting experiences. Ummmm! What about my husband? Well, he doesn't mind cold, dark weather.
