CONTRASTS

IN THE MID-WESTERN PART OF THE U.S. THE SEASONS ARE SEVERE. THE SUMMER'S ARE HOT AND STICKY, WHILE THE WINTER FREEZES YOU TO THE BONE. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN ONE TO WISH MYSELF AWAY DURING THE SEVERE MONTHS. I USED TO LONG FOR SEATTLE IN THE SUMMER (During my grunge days ) AND CALIFORNIA ( during the long, dark winter months ). 
AS I AGE, THE IRONY ISN'T LOST ON ME, AS I WISH FOR THE WARMTH OF YOUTH AND ALSO THE 'FIRMNESS' ;)  ~  BUT WITH AGE COMES WISDOM AND THE COMFORT OF KNOWING WHO I AM AND THAT WITHOUT 'CONTRAST' IT WOULD BE A VERY DULL WORLD :)
