Because in the summer girls and women are 'required' to show more skin, wear thinner fabrics, feel and look more exposed. In summer I received more unwanted male attention and felt more at risk. In winter I could wear a turtleneck AND a sweater AND a blazer and nobody asked why I was 'stuck up' or kidded me about how I 'never let anybody see my shape' (a direct quote, from a woman 20 years older!).<br /><br />Now that I'm a senior citizen, I don't like winter -- the slippery walks, the arthritic twinges, the frequent upper respiratory stuff.

I can sort through my thoughts easier and I dont look like I am moving as if I am twenty years older. <br /><br /><br />If it snows, the snow covers everything and I feel not as aggitated by everything...<br /><br />JuliaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-68914979869770220232015-03-05T10:13:30.198-05:002015-03-05T10:13:30.198-05:00And you are telling us!
