My Taiwan Adventure

Last night was a bad night of sleep. I can't put my finger on why I was tossing and turning and waking up so often. I was going to get an early start this morning on a craft project, but the poor night's rest sent me back to sleep after my alarm rang.

The rain finally ceased after almost a week and this is the first real blue sky I've seen in a while. The temperature has finally risen above 20 and it puts a smile on my face. Good weather affects me this way. The constant drizzle is not fun. I guess I should be glad that it isn't 20 below. *laughs* I remember it was 39 below the day before I left for Taiwan in January... and I managed to weather that without freezing to death. I doubt that I could do it today.

While my perception of warm weather has changed (it's 20 above and I'm comfortable in my light-weight fleece jacket) it occurred to me that food matter doesn't adapt like humans. I came to this conclusion just over a month ago when it was close to 30 above and I had left a carton of milk out for a couple of hours. Food doesn't adjust to the heat at all. Try it for yourself sometime.

I want to write a piece about free time and how our perceptions affect our moods, attitudes and choices in what we do or do not do. I know that there are people in Canada that envy my journey out here and the chances I have to adventure world-wide. I guess I would have to say that you make your own choices. These same people will probably have a retirement fund. I doubt that I will.
