Florida Winter

Depending upon where you are reading this from, I will start off by apologizing for all the gloating I am about to do over the insanely awesome thing that is a Florida Winter.

 Today is the coolest day of the winter season so far and that means, no joke, a high of 52 today. Oh it's not just that it’s only 52 degrees, there is also not a cloud in the sky and the sun is shining so brightly I could use a hat and sunglasses.

 These are the kind of Florida days where us locals look around and wonder why more people don't live here. It isn't until the summer months that we are reminded of the answer to that question.

 This brilliant weather is supposed to last through the weekend which means I will be lying in the park, in a sweatshirt and shorts with flip flops on reading my book which right now happens to be The Mime Order by Samantha Shannon. It is the second book in what is scheduled to be a sever part series that started with last year's best seller The Bone Season.

The ends of Friday work days are always exciting but I am looking forward to this one even more this week because of what is ahead.

 No matter if you're in the sun, stuck under the clouds, or snowed in, a book is always a good companion that can make you feel warm from the inside out. Take some time this weekend to slow things down, put your feet up, and enjoy a good story. Your body and soul will thank you for it.
