It's getting colder, why is that a reason to smile?

It's October, there's a chill in the air, the wind blows all the leaves from the trees and your shivering, why is that a reason to smile?


Because the glorious thing about being cold, is finding ways to get warm again.


Ways to get warm:


Today I am cold, very cold. And what have I been doing all morning? I'm sat, hot water bottle, blanket, pillows and cushions, curled up on the sofa with a warm drink and a fantastic book, I can see the wind blowing insanely outside,and I am settled and warm knowing I am inside and away from it. But even if I was out in it, it's ok, I'd go out in my coat and hat and scarf and gloves and stay warm with all of that and appreciate the wind that's taking my breath away. It is kind of exhillarating when you are out in it.


Blankets, duvets and snuggies are always good in this time of year, I know I practically live in mine, I am the owner of about 10 fleecy blankets, duvets and all of that.


Dressing gowns and slippers, or fluffy socks are good for this time of year too. And dig out the long sleeved pjamas. 


Warm milk, tea, coffee, hot chocolate, or whatever hot drink takes your fancy, to settle down under your blankets with as the nights close in.


Grab your other half, or a sibling, or your parents, or your friend, and curl up close to them in the cold, make them put their arms around you, you'll feel safe and warm though it's cold outside.


Yes, I'ts getting cold, but that's no reason to stop smiling, we can just relax a little now, slow down, cuddle up to those close to us and stay safe and warm through winter :)


Keep Smiling
Love, Tutti-Frutti
