be joyful, though you have considered all the facts

It's December and in December, the cold air feels like a novelty: sharp and fresh and exhilarating, even when waiting for a bus that's running 10 minutes behind schedule, even when battling bronchitis and balancing the need to do nothing but rest and watch The West Wing with the reality of work deadlines and no sick leave. There's something about it.
