Heat

When you wake up in a cold house, you put your feet on the cold floor ready to work. A fire must be kindled. If you are lucky there are stout embers waiting, and the wood is dry. If you are very lucky your heater will be ignited with a flip of the switch. If there are others in the house they will wait for the heat to begin to circulate before they begin their ascent into the day. They are the luckiest of us all.
