If there’s one thing I hate more than anything it’s being cold.
Go figure, I’m originally from this place.
Sometimes I dream of living in Southern California, where the temperature is almost always 70 degrees and the sun beats down readily as the days pass by. Of course, this is not my reality at the moment. Currently I am in frigid New England where the frost is alive and my heater suddenly broke last night.
We fixed it, thanks to a few phone calls, but it made sunny CA look just that much better.
Since I do call the Northeast home (and I do absolutely love it May-October), I’ve learned to deal quite efficiently with the cold days and even colder nights.
Here are some of my favorite ways to stay cozy:
1. cozy socks 2. slippers for extra warmth 3. a blanket from the past
4. a fuzzy robe 5. mugs of hot cocoa 6. steamy hot tea
7. a puffy down jacket 8 and 9. wool mittens and a hat 10. bowls of chicken soup for the soul

And while all these things are nice, let’s not forget that the best way to be cozy is to surround yourself with the people you love. Snuggle up on the couch under that big ‘ol blanket and take a look at that twinkling tree you have. Think about your life and what makes you happy. Think about favorite memories, favorite days, favorite people. Take all those small moments and rejoice. Be thankful and be glad. Life is sweet. ♥
