Although I love the cold winter, there is something special about the heat within, waking up under warm blankets while white light streams through the windows. Just a little bit longer-- so feet can stay toasty and all is peaceful as the early-bird runners jog down the street. We are here. There is no other way to be present, dreaming of hot cocoa and sweaters and lights hung up on all the houses. But we are here, inside where we can light a fire and forget about the cold, forget about what's outside again and again.
I hope you enjoyed this piece! Although it never gets that cold where I live, I’m definitely craving some winter weather at the moment. Happy-almost-Thanksgiving for all my fellow Americans out there! Make sure to stay safe and social distance. And as always, please feel free to leave feedback and writing challenges in the comments.
