I’m getting little glimpses that warmer weather is nearly upon us. There have been a few days when I’ve been able to wear a light jacket. I’ve been able to leave the house with nothing more than a sweatshirt. But then a few days later I have to dig up my ski jacket again and scrape my car windows before heading to work. But we’re close. I can feel it in my chest. Some people can tell when rain is coming in their joints, right? I have a very different skill. When my chest tightens and I’m scared to fall asleep because my breath is so shallow, when I have to cough to expel that air that is sitting stale in my lungs, it’s miserable. But the plus side (at this time of year) is it means weather is changing. Warmer weather brings with it better breathing for me. And it means I can enjoy the outdoors, work in my garden and plan happy hours where we can drink out on patios in the sunshine. I miss summer.
My chest isn’t the only sign I have that warm weather is coming. There all sorts of reminders for me outside, too.
