Reluctant Happiness

In the past week or two, the air has definitely gained a bit of an edge as the chillier temperatures push the heat out of the picutre.  It's not cold per se, but there is some bite out there.

And so here I am finding myself torn.  I will admit, the colder air is somewhat refreshing and invigorating after a hot summer.  On the other hand, I am 100% a summertime girl, and the lower temps signal the end of another warm season and the impending doom of WINTER. 

Holy Crap. I just realized something.  Allow me a second.  Fall.  Fall is like the downside into the cold, bitter depths of death.  You are litterally falling down.  Spring pushes you back up, gives you a springy bounce to Summer, the summit.  Did they plan that?  Do you guys follow?  Did I smoke too much crack from the evidence locker? 

I digress.  My point:  The weather is nice but A) I feel guilty for liking it because I feel like I'm betraying my true love, warmth and sunshine and beaches; B) It's all very bittersweet because it's just going to get colder and colder and awfuler and awfuler.

Yeah. I know. I need therapy.  I'm on it.

Sometimes I feel the same way about spring, as it is the gateway to hot and humid summers. I have gotten better, though, at just enjoying spring for what it is. I really am gaining an appreciation for all of the seasons (though I will likely always look forward to the end of summer each year).

Don't worry. . .we probably all need therapy. :)

I totally get what you mean. Like Summer is IT, and so the seasons were named appropriately. I agree.
