Winter Boots, check

Remember a while back when I started to think about keeping my feet-sies warm. Well I've gone and done it. Wednesday night I picked out a pair of Sorels, the classic winter boot, to help me enjoy my winter walking just a little bit more. At first I was trying to find something a little more, lets be honest, fashionable but then I decided to forget fashion for function.

These are the exact pair I bought. I figure if I'm going to live through 4 months (usually more) of winter, I better be prepared.

Another fabulous example of lights

Practicing gratitude

I find it rather tempting to complain and be a mope when the days get short and wintery. And when I can't seem to wear enough layers of clothing to keep out the cold, it's known, that I might get a little crabby.  However this is the new me, or at least an attempt to focus my energy on the things I'm very grateful for.

Today I am grateful for little white lights.

I know it might not seem like much but there's something so beautiful and cozy in a way that makes me appreciate the winter darkness.
