Wind is cathartic.  It makes me feel alive and more present.  The best kind of day always has a breeze.  Now I've never been to Chicago, so I've never really experienced the horrible side of wind.  I've been through some extremely chilly, forceful windstorms, but it hasn't been a part of my daily life. So I still think fondly of the word wind and the way a breeze coming through the curtains makes everything seem a bit better.

Tomorrow's letter is X and the word I chose has 5 letters, starts with XE.  And if you can't get it you should be flicked in the nose.  Seriously, this one is super easy.  :)
