My Journey My Reflections

Oh, my goodness, this weather is crazy! It was -30 yesterday. The school was canceled for the children, but I had to work. Being a public servant, I had to go into the office. I made it there fine but was just worried about my jeep sitting there all day in the cold and if it would start after work. Thankfully, I used my remote start and waited 20 minutes. When I got in the car–it was still very cold. I had to grab my blanket from the car and wrap my legs in it. I had a hard time trying to warm up the car and eventually I had to just get out of there and get home. So, how cold is too cold? I like Winter some, but these temps are very scary. The subzero temps also reminded me of a certain tragedy that occurred during the same bitter cold in 2014. So, now the cold just means a totally different thing than before this occurred. It brings such sadness to my heart when this cold happened around the same day as in 2014. I wished the cold came at another time, another date perhaps. Memories like these are hard to put out of your mind. You try to cope as best as you can, but there that memory remains. I wrote about it for years to cope, but certain things just put it right in front of your face. So, there is cold from the weather and then there is the cold from the feeling that occurred. Together they create a deeper colder feeling that just stays with you. It tries to consume you, and thankfully it just lasts a few days. I think I like Spring better!!!
