How Have We Become So Programmed That We View Rest As Laziness
Is it just me?
I miss hibernation mode, also known as winter. A day that I would have an “excuse” not to do anything and stay home, with Netflix and hot chocolate. I never fully appreciated a cold, snowy day until they no longer exist in my world.
However, I do not miss the winter blues that I always used to get. So I will keep my sunny days to avoid the SAD days.
This week in Colombia has been feeling a little bit like winter, though. It has rained at least four days out of seven during the day, not just at night. It has brought the feeling of winter and the winter blues.
Winter blues without snow isn’t ever as fun since by around 2 pm, the sun will be out, and all will be well again in my world. Except will it?
I have felt that I need to hibernate, like a giant brown grizzly bear crawling into my cave and coming out when there is less stressful energy in the air. I do not have much stress in my world at the moment, but when the world seems to be emanating this feeling, it is inevitable to feel it at some level.
