The Shiver

It happened.  For the first time since I arrived, I experienced a real shiver.  It was brief, yes, but a shiver nonetheless.  Upon ascending from the ocean water this cloudy evening, my skin somehow felt cold enough to elicit a natural response to warm up my body, so it shivered, once!

Shivering is not one of those things that I thought I would take for granted.  But it is hotter than a stuffy upstairs room on Mercury sometimes, and even the ocean reef water is like a hot tub.

Moral of the story, be thankful when you shiver.  Some people never get to, at least when you live on Kosrae.

Peace from the palms!
