A cold week in Pennsylvania
This time of year can make some people miserable. The temperatures are around 10 degrees in the day time and the wind howls.
But some people find this time of year a good time to get close to their spouses or significant others, their families and friends. It’s like a big huddle against the weather where everyone helps each other cope and even enjoy the frigid temperatures and icy conditions.
There are increases in domestic violence too. It seems about every day around here some person is arrested for stabbing their partner, you can fill in the blanks. One guy got stuck with a meat thermometer by his girlfriend.
January brings out the real people in us all. If you’re happy at home, it is a great month to share that happiness. If you’re miserable at home, its a terrible time to suffer through with cabin fever in the company of someone who is not a true partner.
I guess everyone learns a little about themselves in January.
