Last year at this time, I was well into my winter funk. Lamenting the loss of the holidays and willing spring to come bring everything to life again. I expected the same wave to flood over me as we packed it all away, but it didn't. While I was sad to not be able to gaze at the glow of candy colored lights, I knew it was time for the next season.
Time to look forward to new projects and time to hibernate a bit. Time to see what will fill up this mantel. For right now, it's a clean slate.
It is a new season Kari, and I just saw the first advert for Cadbury Creme Eggs. They're coming!
ReplyDeleteOh yay!!! My favorite time of year! I can't wait to stock up:)
ReplyDeleteYou are such a good author! Your word choice is always perfect. :) Here's to clean slates!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jessica:) I appreciate it:)
DeleteIt's nice when the past helps us out in the present. Last Christmas we tried to do too much. This Christmas was still busy, but I had a better mindset because I learned from the year before (at least a little). I'm happy your are enjoying the winter this year. I have to admit, I'm a little jealous you're having winter. It'll be fun to see what you end up putting on your mantel.
ReplyDeleteIt can be so great having a new start! I hope this blank slate inspires you to do some amazing stuff!

Thanks so much, Becca! I hope so, too! Have a great weekend!
DeleteThe house always does look so bare once the decorations are gone! But also a little cleaner and less cluttered, usually! :) I'm sure you'll find a new way to prettify the mantel.
ReplyDeleteI see so many possibilities for that mantle! :o)
ReplyDeleteI also did not fall into my usual post-Christmas funk this year. Usually life slows down a bit and I find myself on the sofa in front of the TV more than normal. Not so this year - we've been busy and I think that's what is keeping the winter blues away!
