hello, it's been awhile...words have simply been swirling around my head yet not formulating into meaning here lately. last month, i focused on capturing one thing a day via instagram that gave me pause for gratitude. it was a lovely challenge of noticing around me. and now i am trying to carry that with me as december has arrived and can so quickly consume one in a swell of obligations and engagements. this year i plan on keeping life simple, rountines simple and allowing for spontanious adventure when possible.
with that, i was thinking today about winter. i am not a winter person. i do not care for cold weather, but nevertheless, have come up with a little list....
10 things i like about winter:
1. the sound of winds racing through dry leaves
2. hot chocolate
3. an empty beach
4. twinkling lights strung everywhere
5. flannel sheets
6. candles (ok, so this one is an all year like but it's extra cozy feeling during winter)
7. cool jazz (miles davis, dave brubrek, charlie parker, please)
8. a scarf
9. cats who like to snuggle on your lap
10. excited giggles and counting down until christmas
ps...i love the little heart in the sky of this photo, only just now noticed it.
