I definitely felt the blues this winter. This whole year as been a bit blue, but what do you know, when the sun and blue sky FINALLY came out this past week, it made a definite shift in my mood!
This winter has been a hard one. It hasn't been particularly cold, or snow-filled, but it is definitely melancholy, unhinged, lost, and lonesome. I know it's not Thursday, and I missed last Thursdays, but let's talk about some comforting things for a second:
How cute this this guy? I got him from my Secret Santa at work. Cups of tea are always at my right hand, and he is the perfect addition to my collection of tea paraphernalia. Additionally, now that I have two tea infusers, I can have guests for tea! HOW FANCY!!
From my cousins came this beautiful ceramic dish, and from my wonderful neighbors came COOKIES!! I can't tell you how many sweets I have eaten over the holidays -- it is frankly a bit gross. But so very delicious.
From one of my dearest and bestest friends came some really fancy teas as a reward for my hard work at NaNoWriMo. Whenever I felt defeated or at a loss, I would think of my promised tea and the challenge, and keep on writing. This is the Gunpowder Green tea and it is strong but very good and vital-tasting.
Finally...
One year ago on Christmas Day, this furry man walked (trundled? What is it that bears do?) into my life. My phone now autocorrects to spell his name (Nicebear) correctly because I type it so often.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY NICEBEAR!!!
Nicebear gives me endless hugs, boundless comfort, and warm fuzzy presence.
The sun is so impossibly low in the south sky.
Spring will come again, though!!
Hold on to that truth!
