I've always loved the old-time winter themes painted by Thomas
Kincaid. I love winter!
I've mentioned the summer heat in Texas a few times, and one would think that such weather is a given in this part of the U.S. However, when it lasts for over two months without any real break, it soon begins to be all you can think about: how to stay out of the heat, how to cope with the heat when you must be outside, how to not become too sunburned, how to prevent heat prostration, etc. While the answers are obvious, it doesn't diminish the fact that heat is constantly on your mind; it affects all of your activities, so you always must take heat into account, thereby keeping the hot temperatures constantly on your mind.
I've read that the mind has the amazing ability to overcome discomfort if you use it right. So does this mean that I should be able to feel cooler if I mentally place myself in a cooler climate? Hmmm. It's worth a shot. Or I'll just keep looking at those wintertime paintings by Thomas Kincaid. Dreaming of winter is easy, but will the heat in my reality melt the snow?
