“Winter is a season of recovery and preparation.”
Paul Theroux
It happens every year. The moment the beauty, excitement and wondrous feelings of the holidays come to a close, winter smacks you straight in the face! It’s not the magical “dreaming of a white Christmas” type of winter, where the first snowfall of the season is the best thing to ever happen. Where everyone is happy, bright and ready to celebrate!
No, the kind of winter I’m referring to is the one that plummets below the zero mark – taking away any chance of warmth! A winter that casts a gloomy spell upon the sky and an even deeper gloom in your heart. When this type of winter strikes, you are in it for the long haul! Unless you were organized enough to plan an escape vacation or happen to be one of those brave, yet crazy people that actually like winter activities, your next few months are spent locked up. Sounds rather depressing, huh?
It’s actually not that bad, well most times. These long, dreary, winter days make the arrival of spring that more spectacular. There’s nothing like watching nature come alive again! The birds starting to chirp, the snow (which at this point has become a very gross brown) starting to melt. Life starts anew and it’s great! But we are months away from that moment, so how does one survive the winter blues?
We’ve compiled some things that we are Currently Loving, and downright needing, to see us through the coldest months of the year!

“I prefer winter and fall when you feel the bone structure of the landscape. Something waits beneath it; the whole story doesn’t show.”
Andrew Wyeth
