Welcome Winter

Today is the winter solstice. It's a day that typically fills me with bittersweet thoughts. I know that the worst of the cold weather is coming — I loathe January and February — but I know that each day will gradually grow longer and spring will not be too far away. I try to distract myself from thinking about the cold months ahead by imagining warm places and exotic outfits to wear on the beach or while sailing somewhere.

This is what I wish my January could be like; daydreaming could be a good strategy to chase away the cold. Any Slim Aarons photo usually does the trick.
