Is it Really All a Matter of Perception?

Written on October 6, 2019   By Sunshine   in Musings

Friday night as I was getting ready for bed, I shivered and pulled a blanket up over me. It was the first time I’ve done that in months. Not since summer began.

It really wasn’t all that much cooler than it’s been all summer. Only a few degrees less than what the thermostat is set for the air conditioning.

But I still pull the blanket over me.

As I laid there feeling the warmth engulf my naked body, I do sleep in the nude, it occurred to me that maybe it is as much perception as reality.

October has arrived. It’s really the beginning of the Autumn season. October is very much the opposite of March. It comes in like a lamb and ends with the roar of the winter lion.

Even though the thermostat for winter will only be a few degrees lower than the present indoor temperature, I’ll be throwing more blankets on to cover me. And even wrap myself tight in them to be warm.

When looking at life this way, I am really believing that it is all a matter of perception. And in this case I suppose perception is reality.
