Shellie Thaws Out
This Christmas, Papi asked me the usual- what do you want for Christmas?
 I gave my usual answer- I don't know. Then, one day I was so freezing 
cold, I said, do you know what I want for Christmas? 7 pairs of thermal 
underwear!  And he did it!  For once I was comfortable in the winter.  
It was great.  I could almost enjoy winter.  Then, it got hot enough to 
go back to regular underwear.  Then it got hot enough to turn on the air
 conditioning.  So we did.  But it didn't work.  So we got it fixed.  It
 worked for about five days.  Then repairman said we needed a bigger 
system.  We opened the windows.  The end.  No air conditioning in my 
house.  The air conditioning was already broken in my car.  SO, I 
finally thawed out.  Some days I actually get hot.  Which is awesome.  
Now I can stand an hour or two in an air conditioned courtroom if I'm 
wearing long sleeves and still feel comfortable.  The freezer which is 
my church still needs a little help.  But I finally don't feel cold most
 of  the time.  I feel so much more energetic and joyful. I love the 
sun! Also, I love having the windows open, because you can hear all the 
birds and bugs and kids and wind in the trees and the rain and all those
 outdoor sounds and smell the outdoors and feel the outdoor air and I 
have decided that I would live to live somewhere in the world that the 
temperatures all year round vary between 70 and 100 degrees Faranheit.  
Then, I would like to live there in a house with a very open floor plan 
so I feel like I am living outdoors.  That is my retirement dream.  Any 
ideas where I could go?
