Komorebi sounds like something I experienced when I was still living down in Devon; twenty-seven years ago maybe.

There's such beautiful imagery associated with some of these words and that's definitely one of them.

Thought of you going through the list as "hiraeth" was one of the words. (Also, I hadn't realized that I hadn't subscribed to your page over here. That has been rectified.)

I'M A FRIOLERO. HAHAHAHA. Can I claim it as a medical condition, too? Make the jerks I work with turn the AC down?

Great card though, have fun with it!

I've been one of those ever since I moved back here from LA. Just can't take the cold anymore.

And I totally agree with you about the a/c. Lucky for me most of them are either not in or in other parts of the office. (I have a space heater going full blast from December to May).

I think that's my issue - while I was born in Illinois, I've lived in the desert since I was 4. I LIKE BEING WARM. LOL

Trouble is, I'm out in the open lobby area by myself, but there are 5 of them crammed into one office, so of course they get hot. UGH. I have a space heater, too. :D
