Why Is November So Winter..Wintry?

At 69 years of oldness I cannot remember a November so winter! Snow? Icy roads? Cold, bitter temps? What's with this November?!!

My ideal November.

I know that many of you dear readers don't have the same climate as me in central Illinois, U.S. of A., but I'm sure you feel my pain, right?

Well, even if you don't, I'll still whine about it, to release my frustration and stress.

I've always looked forward to the cool, mellow, colorful, crisp, hot chocolate feelings of November. 

A November of joyfully raking leaves, jumping in a pile of leaves, watching the dog or cat jump in a pile of leaves, raking them again, stuffing them in paper bags, dragging them to the curb, noticing that you've bagged up the dog and cat, releasing them, raking again, putting those leaves in new paper bags, dragging them to the curb, again, finding the bags torn up by the mean  naughty neighborhood kids the next morning, raking again...you get the point.

All the fun stuff I usually experience in November has been dampened by freezing rain, billions of snowflakes (not talking about college students), below zero wind chills, and icy, slippery, treacherous (especially for a teetering old dude like me) walking conditions, that could make me fall and break my tussie! 

I think you all know what it means for an almost septuagenarian to break his tussie, correct?

Let's just say, It ain't pretty, or painless when your tussie is cattywampus!!

Now, if the world is all bass akwards, as we all know it is, Christmas will be a balmy...

the important thing is to ignore the physical realm of external forces, like the weather, body aches and pains, squirrels in the attic, tight fitting clothes, the heartbreak of psoriasis...and do the old switcheroo, to spiritual, outer body, transmeditational, oddball thinking, that will allow you to be FREE! Even if "THEY" come and take you away to Happy Valley Sanitarium, you'll be free inside your own Kingdom of Me, Myself and I.
