Yep...I hear you loud and clear...the heat, the cold seems to become more intimidating as time goes on....grrrr....and yes, I too have family and friends in northern Cal and Washington State....and yes again on melancholy, it is a very old friend of mine. I have learned (and continue to learn) to accept it when it visits, but not to cling to it, otherwise it can quickly turn into self-pity. Indeed it is a feeling and just like thoughts they are always passing through. It seems to always hold a question for me as to why I feel that way and, what is the deeper meaning, and then as I begin to understand, I take a deep breath and seek out feelings of gratitude and connectedness to all....we are not alone that is for sure. Not easy, but doable. Keep smiling...
