Feeling Alive

I saw a movie called 2 For the Money with Matthew McConaughey and Al Pacino. Pacino was a recovering gambling addict. He went to a gambler's addiction meeting as a farce and stood up and gave this speech about how losing it all reminded an addict that he was alive ie. a person had lost their home, family etc but was still moving. Personally, I can't stand winter. My feet stay cold all season and I shiver every morning no matter where my thermostat is set. The grey skies outside make me feel melancholy and lonely. Nonetheless, I feel a sense of peace during the wintertime. Summer flies by so fast and I don't have to worry about dressing for the weather or going outside. I think maybe all the bad things about winter remind me that I'm alive.
