seasons

the most common question that i get asked after people learn that i moved to atlanta from los angeles is "don't you miss the weather?"  answer: no.  i mean it was great at first.  my favorite season is definitely summer and i must have lots sunshine in my life.....literally.   i get a degree of seasonal affective disorder, and i'm definitely over winter by february and march.  BUT i've never missed autumn so much as i did living out west.  i like reading and movies and don't want to feel guilty every weekend if i stay inside.  coffee shops, sweaters, football games, tights and fireplaces are nice too.  mostly i think that i want the cold and the rain to appreciate the sunny days.  maybe this is a metaphor for life....
