11-17 (17/1/24) -- Finding Comfort

I went for a longer walk in the sun today. The wind was biting on the return trip as I headed into the west wind. It will get colder over the next few days and the wind chills will be much colder, too. So, it was a good day to do a longer walk. If I dress appropriately, I can do the walking in colder weather.  So, it may be time to break out the 'rea' winter outerwear. <smile> 

Sweaters and sweat shirts are fun to wear. They feel so cozy. I have a great fleece vest that keeps the core warm, but it doesn't help the arms. The heavier under layers help there. I have scarves and mitts of varying weights and the next couple of days will need heavier ones than I've been using. 

Even the warmer bedding can be comforting at this time of year -- the duvet, winter weight quilt and extra blanket are all friends. <smile>  I've had two restless nights lately -- difficulty getting to sleep, waking multiple times in the night, and waking far earlier than planned in the morning. Needless to say, it makes me a bit out of sorts and can lead to napping in the afternoon. It is much warmer in bed. Little gets done on such days. <sigh> The song shared tonight fits my lack of sleep more than my encounters with the reasons the singer didn't sleep. Just the title line caught in my head.  Keep safe. Enjoy!
