Enough with winter
Brrr, I'm ready for winter
to be over now.
It seems like everyday
I wake up and feel the coldness
and I'm reminded that it's still
winter outside. I'll have one arm
stuck outside of the covers, a
chilled feeling seeping into my
skin. I tuck it in underneath the
warmth underneath the covers
and rollover. My muscles move
and quake to the first move-
ments of the day. It's still dark
outside and part of me sort of
panics because I realize I didn't
wake up to an alarm and I know
it's one of two things: I slept
through my alarm or I woke up
before my alarm went off. My
alarm then went off. Crisis
averted.
I know it's going to be another
cold one. I think of my tunic
sweater and wonder if it's clean
(or clean enough) to wear to
work. I can't remember, and at
this point I don't care.

I sneak around the house in
my pajamas on the way to my
cat's food bowl, hearing the
sound of Hilde galloping along
behind me. She has her eyes
half-closed too, but her heart
is in the right place - her stom-
ach. I probably taught her
that.
I know it's going to be a cold
one. I know Dad will call hop-
ing to catch my Mom and I

KINDness Day
On February 22, Kin Canada is
promoting Kin Canada's
National Day of KINdness in cel-
ebration of Founder Hal Rogers
who began the first Kinsmen
club in 1920. In past years, Kin
Canada has celebrated Kin's
National anniversary with
heritage days to recognize Hal
Rogers. This year they are trying,
for the second time, something
different by encouraging Kins-
men and Kinette members, past
or present, to perform a simple
act of kindness on February 22
to honour all of the contribu-
tions Kin clubs have made to
Canadian society in the last
ninety-four years. The Lucknow
Kinsmen (1973) and Kinettes
(1974) are proud of the many
contributions made to our
workday and remind us to start
out vehicles up and let them
warm up a bit before we put
the hammer down on the
Bruce County roads (he knows
us well). Like clockwork, I hear
the phone ring.
I take a scalding hot shower
knowing full well my Egzema
may act up but I carry on. The
warmth of the water beats the
coldness of the drafts.
I get ready to the sounds
coming from my laptop- a mix
of country, pop and the odd
Spanish song that reminds me
of a vacation I took in 2012.
That's not good, because then
I start trying to figure out how I
can afford another vacation. I
then put on my new bracelet
and I'm reminded of why my
toes aren't in the sand at a
fancy resort somewhere. Then
I turn and look at my closet
and also my spinning bike. Oh
yeah, that's why too.
community, as well as countless
other charities such as Kin Can-
ada's National support of Cystic
Fibrosis. In 2013 the Kinsmen
donated $40,000 and the Kinette
club donated $2,000 to Cystic
Fibrosis. That's a major act of
kindness, not to mention fund
raising.
However, KINdness Day isn't
about money. Instead, it's just a
reminder that a simple act of
kindness like returning a grocery
cart, visiting a senior, calling a

Now is about the time I start
to feel my cabin fever kick in. I
imagine going for a jog
(although I haven't jogged for
awhile and I know I won't) in
the sunny weather with the
warmth of the sun beating
down on me. I imagine the feel
of the pavement under my
shoes. But in reality, it's more
like I imagine my toes on the
gravel of my drive -way because
I'm too lazy to put shoes on to
go get the thing I want from
the car that I forgot to take
with me on the way into the
house.
One thing I know, is that the
sun will come and so will sum-
mer time. It'll be here before
you know it. But then, just as
I'm sure the summer will
come, the winter will be back.
Maybe next year I put money
into a spinning bike and a
wardrobe and a little more into
sunscreen and flip-flops.
friend, a friendly smile, etc. can
make someone's day.
You don't have to be a Kin
member to be part of National
KINdness Day. We all know how
someone else's kind gesture
makes us feel; let's all help pay
this feeling forward on KINdness
Day, Saturday February 21.
Sincerely,
Maureen Matchett,
Lucknow Kinette
