Ooh how I can feel you my dear Melinda ! Winter is my less loved season because I'm so very sensitive to cold ;-) Yet, I'm living (and was born) at the mountains, I don't ski at all, but I stay there because I love this place and well you know...Annecy...well yes, you know ;-)

Until a few years ago, I really had hard times with winter and cold..

until I decided to make peace with that, as it is aimed to come back every year and for a few months during my whole life, I thought it was a pity to cease to leave during winter, or at least to cease to appreciate beauties of life, because that was in fact what was unbearable ;-)

So I made peace with winter by buying very warm and cosy clothing and shoes, sweet blankets, buying good winter tires for my small car, and enjoying every things winter had to offer, like walk in the snow by sunny weather, having an hot drink at home while looking through the window, moving a bit more at home to be less cold, envelopping in fluffy blankets, taking pictures of beautiful landscapes....
in short, I focus on everything good about winter and avoid being conditionnal upon season to enjoy life or not..since I do that, I have to confess that my winters are beautiful, and even if it's not my favourite (Autumn !!), it is now a season I can peacefully or joyfully enjoy ^_^

I wish you a bright winter my dear friend !xoxo
