The cold is oddly reflective. It slows us down, forces us indoors, and creates just the right conditions for introspection and reflection. Sure, we’re bundled up like burritos with hot tea in hand, but aren’t those moments special? The world feels smaller, quieter, and more intimate. It’s a time for reading by the fire, organizing that area in your house that's been bothering you, or baking anything. 

The cold is also a reminder of how it's a master of surprises. You step outside in what you thought was a warm jacket, only to feel a gust of wind slice through you like a dagger. You might even be reading this while wearing socks, two sweaters, and maybe—a scarf! Stay warm :)
