Snow, Snow Everywhere...but Here!!

Almost all of my peeps on FB are getting snow & are posting pics of their snowfall. It makes me...sad. Lonely. It's a reminder. The worst part of it is that I have several friends in the Seattle area even! *sighs* And, I realize, that I miss it. Which is odd. All of my life, I've *HATED* cold weather & snow. That's why Florida was such a perfect fit for me. The 9 years I lived here before...I felt *home* simply because I never had to deal with cold weather. Now...I feel alien here. Out of place. Last year, when it 1st started snowing, I started freaking out. But, somehow, Kat & the girls managed to turn those feelings around. She made it magical, exciting, fun, beautiful. Watching Bella romp around in it as happy as a pig in mud was hilarious. I...you know, I just don't get it. She abandoned me, snowed in for a week, I couldn't leave the house. 2 days after xmas, my world shattered & I was tossed out in the cold, alone, without any of my belongings & I had to figure out how to be safe overnight until I could get my things from her & make my way to the airport to escape Seattle. You would think...that the bad memories would turn me completely against snow. Just like the bad memories have turned me against almost everything else (friendship, love, trust, faith, xmas!)...

I don't know why I miss snow. I don't know why I miss the Seattle area. Except that the short time that I was there, I felt like I was *home* again...
