Bette-
I've been thawed and flash frozen, I guess it's just life in New England, if you complain about the weather it goes from one extreme to the other.
Last week was temp's in the 60 and 70's, this week it's been steady rain,river's flooding, followed by 20-50º (higher temps by day/lower overnight) and last night was rewarded to 4" of freshly fallen snow at my camp. Don't mind the camp snowfall though the roads closed for another 3 weeks or until the lakes thaw out, and I may get my boat in the water.
I never hibernate in the Winter, that's the best time of life unless it starts with the first snow in October and doesn't stop until April 10th - that was PITA, especially when compounded by Pneumonia for 2 weeks of &(*%.
Pshaw - as long as you're capable of moving at some speed your still breathing, your alive and should make the most of it. Worked for most of both sides of my family up into their mid and late 90's.
If you want to keep on moving - you just do. Start out small and work your way up to greater distances - heck, you mightfind yourself taking those long hikes after a few weeks/months.
If camping doesn't appeal to you try hiking with that rug rat of yours (my mother was 40 when I popped onto the scene), unless he's still in game land or graduated to cars. If you don't like tent camping try a cabin in the woods, RV, etc - something with sides and glass windows.
Gotta go.
