Baby, it’s cold outside. The invention of the Internet and social media has made the world smaller. It’s so easy to check on your smartphone to see what the weather is in Florida or Playa del Carmen. (70 degrees today)
This
week I saw that one of the Windham graduates who went to Florida for college
posted a picture of the weather page for Windham and the one from her town down
south. Needless to say there was a big discrepancy in temperatures.
Every
day that my daughter is home from college, I get a weather update about “the
County”. “The high in Presque Isle today is -1. And with the wind chill, it’s
-50,” she said.
“Well
that’s cold and probably why they don’t want you up there right now. You may
never want to come back, especially when your other college attending friends
are posting about the balmy temps down south.
Did
I mention it’s cold out? This is the time of year when people should be
bundling up, wearing coats, hats, mittens, boots and scarves. Doing that will
help keep you warm and healthy. We are going through the cold and flu season
where everyone is hacking and sneezing. Anything we can do to stop the spread
of these germs is good.
Washing
hands or using the sanitizing gel is a good start to staying healthy. There are
lots of sayings about hand washing, including washing for two times through the
Happy Birthday song working up a good lather.
Getting
enough sleep is another key to staying well. Staying up until 11 or midnight to
watch the last hour of the reality show you’re hooked on, isn’t worth it and I
love reality shows. However, they can most likely be seen online the next day.
Even
if you do these things, it’s possible to still get sick. Then it is time for
you to get well, eat a balanced meal, take medicine if prescribed, and sleep
in, take naps and let your body heal itself.
Best
wishes. Stay warm and healthy. Spring is only 70 days away.
