i'm not really into winter. these are the things that i'm relying on to keep me a little more positive slash optimistic:

• soups, stews, and things that need to be baked for hours in the oven
• tea
• new, warmer winter coat
• spending the day inside when it's snowing and the snow is piling up on the window ledge, blocking your view
• having candles lit up around the room at night
• working with wool
• watching holiday movies
• seasonal drinks at Starbucks
• wearing thick, ribbed tights
