the winter of my discontent

shutterstock_38878549In my quest to become more positive, I am trying valiantly to look forward to the upcoming winter season, otherwise known as The Five Straight Months of Cold Feet. In that spirit (the positive one—didn’t you identify it in the previous sentence?) I have attempted to brainstorm some good things about winter:

1. Sitting by the fireplace TO GET WARM

2. Reading a good book while snuggling under a blanket TO GET WARM

3. Wrapping great scarves around my neck in jaunty positions TO GET WARM

4. Burrowing under the covers with my hot water bottle TO GET WARM

5. Enjoying cafe au lait and hot chocolate TO GET WARM

6. Wearing soft merino wool sweaters TO GET WARM

7. Cuddling with a nice boy TO GET WARM

8. My fun peacoat with gold buttons I bought TO GET WARM

9. Steaming hot baths with essential oils TO GET WARM

10. Fuzzy chenille socks that I wear TO GET WARM

Yeah, this is going well.
