When are you most happy?
The winter period is a time of reflection and unfortunately I don’t have much motivation or energy to do the things that normally light me up.
Living in a country where the winter (and summer) is rainy and has very little sun it is a challenge to be cheerful and in the spirit of Christmas. I miss the sunlight that brightens all the colors and even snow would make it look so much more beautiful than the dull pallet of grey colors outside right now.
But there are little things that make me happy in this period: my hot cocoa in the morning, spending my time in pyjamas with my boy while watching a family movie together, snuggling together with our dog that enjoys the couch just as much as we do, drawing and doodling, going for a chai latte with my friend and having deep and meaningful conversations.
These are the moments that brighten my day and make this period worthwhile.. and who knows, maybe mother nature will still pleasantly surprise us with a white winter.
