Today it was -13 outside. I found myself thinking that I would not be strong enough, mentally or physically to be homeless. How do people sit in this kind of cold without proper clothing or sleeping bags? How do you muster up the mental strength to be outside in these temperatures? I am grateful that I do not have to. I am grateful that I have a home. I am grateful that I am able to buy a winter coat and boots. I am grateful that I do not have to be cold.
On a more flippant note- if I were to lose my home (touch wood), I would hope it would be summer and I would walk my way south and end up somewhere warmer. There's no way I would be staying around Toronto.
