I really love cold weather. We try to take a good long walk every weekend, followed up by a tasty hot chocolate (or latte in my case) in the warm house.
It's obvious, but friends are so wonderful. We had a family playdate this weekend! Our kids all made plans at school and let us know about them and coincidentally both families have babies like we do. The older kids played, the babies played, the parents had interesting grown-up conversations. I had coffee. It was really and truly wonderful. I am so lucky. When we first moved here I didn't think I would ever make any friends and I felt like I was trying so hard and getting nowhere. But every time I've moved somewhere new it's taken a year or eighteen months to make friends and here we are rounding the corner on 18 months, and friends. Like magic (hah!).
Things feel mostly really good right now and I am enjoying it.
