Zapped Energy

We dropped to a temperature of only 6 degrees this morning (~ -14 C).  I am not ready, nor am I acclimated yet to the cold.  So, this temperature drop has been challenging.  The cold makes me enormously tired.

I have grown much less fond of cold since I obtained a normal BMI.  I have also liked cold less as I have grown older.  I need to combat this somehow, as it is cold like this for damn near half the year.  I am not sure how, but I need to figure out a new, successful way to EMBRACE the cold.  I need an outdoor hobby that will make me WANT to be out in the cold.  I have ice fished, but it is not something I would ever anticipate I could muster enough "passion" to do.... to have it become a true hobby or avocation.  The same is true of Cross Country Skiing.  I have done it, and I find it reasonably fun on groomed trails, but groomed trails are not really a "thing" in my region any longer.  The VERY FEW cross country skiers I hear about these days, are all into BREAKING TRAILS.  That does not really interest me.  

You would be amazed (or actually.... perhaps NOT amazed) at how much my imagination has been reliving the beautiful pipe I was able to indulge in one rather long week ago now.
