This is deeply relatable, and it’s a beautiful poem. I’m glad time, kindness, and care is mending all that’s been broken this year. Thank you for sharing.
I love your list and it mirrors my own intentions and aspirations. Here are 10 of my own: 1) Ginger, turmeric, and lemon 🍋 homemade tea on the regular. A friend got me drinking this and I call it the health elixir—it’s fully integrated into my daily rhythm now. 2) Forest walks. 3) Poetry with my coffee every morning. 4) Friend dates no matter how strong the urge to isolate becomes. 5) Cozy slippers and sweaters. 6) À warming pad under the covers before I get into bed. 7) Short outings to take in morning light (my dog makes sure of this). 8) Vitamin D. 9) 5 min dance parties daily. 10) Practicing gratitude. 🙏
Oh this is a beautiful list indeed. Every one of them (except #7 because I’m NOT a morning person!) I think you’re in Montreal? I live in Ottawa but spend a lot of time in Montreal. We have plenty of snow, ice and cold to look forward to!
Yes! #7 is 100% only made possible by Clover, my poodle who excels at peer pressure. 😆. We really are just stepping into the cold, aren’t we? I hope I can meet this season more graciously than last year. Your list helped me get motivated to do so!
That is a pretty dreadful year of woe. I'm glad that things are turning around now. I especially hope you win against the appeal. Susan, I feel sure that you will. After all, you won the original judgement without legal representation at all.
Love your Winter poem. So different to the heatwave we are having here. 36 degrees C forecast today and if I didn't have my grandchildren here I would be out swimming now, before it gets too hot...
My arm. I fell. Hard. Out of the blue. It was traumatic. Hospital. Nonreactive to the pain meds they gave me (bad way to find out morphine doesn’t work). Couldn’t drive for 2 months! But.. it’s sooooo much better now. Just a matter of time and taking care. Can’t imagine 36 degrees right now. It’s minus 10 here and going down. 🥶
That crystal world of winter, so beautiful.

Me too! Thank you for your inspiration.
Ohhh Susan. Your arm!
How did that happen??

I feel I’ll win the appeal too. 🤞 Main thing is I don’t have to do it. Because I have 2 lawyers doing it for me pro bono! It’ll be next summer though.

I know. It’s a shock every time. No matter how many winters…
