But I don’t want to get out of the shower – It’s COLD.

The other day I found this wonderful and hilarious picture. It sure rings true to me – especially gaining courage to step into the cold air.

In the winter a hot shower is a wondrous piece of therapy to escape the constant Minnesota cold. But this is just a plug to encourage you to keep up the tough Minnesotan behavior and stick to a five minute shower when you can.  There’s nothing wrong with treating yourself to a longer shower every once and a while – and taking a five minute shower is a great way to start your day the energy efficiency way.  There is always hot tea to cozy up to!
