Here Comes Winter!

It’s a cold day in Chicago. We’ve had chilly days, but today is the first really cold day this season! I’m not a cold weather person. In fact, sometimes I’m teased that I need a sweater in August!

When winter comes I search for the little things that warm my heart.

• rosy cheeks and red noses on little kids

• hot chocolate

• colorful wool hats

• my red boots

• bright blue winter skies

• holiday lights on the streets (they stay up for most of the winter in Chicago!)

• falling snow (yes)

• coming in from the cold

• a good book and a warm throw

• tea in fancy cups

• candlelight

A long time ago I read a book titled Searcher of Majesty. I don’t remember the author. The title has stuck with me. I think of myself as a searcher, not of majesty, but of life’s little surprises no matter what the season.

“Live in each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influence of the earth.” Henry David Thoreau
