A Change of Season

Leaves are changing to crimson, burnt orange, bright yellows and mellow browns. The fall people in my life are oozing social media posts on pumpkin spice, sweaters, Halloween and knit wear and here I sit on my side of the computer screen praying for more sunny days with temperatures over 75F.

Seriously. Keep your pumpkin candles, pumpkin lattes, and burning leaves out of my face. My dream is watching more ocean sunsets, not trying to find my gloves stashed all over the house. I need five or six pair of gloves per winter since I have circulation issues thanks to the years of beta blockers and Imitrex for migraine treatment.

Today started at 46 degrees. I broke down and turned the furnace on. It was both damp and cold. The hardest part of the coming winter is the perpetual darkness and gloom. The days are shorter and shorter until you begin work while it's dark and soon after quitting time it is already dusk.

I'm trying to figure out how we can squeeze a mini-vacation in somewhere during the dark months of Winter 2021-2022.

How do you handle the change of seasons? Do you live in a place that seasons don't change? I'm interested in hearing your thoughts.

I feel you. I have lived in Northern Germany for most of my life, but I really enjoy being on the sunny Balkans for the last two years.
It's not just the cold that got me depresses during winter months, but also the lack of sunlight.
Winter in Bulgaria was cold, but so much sunnier! And not as long as in Northern Germany.

I won't go back there to live. Me and my man will travel in the van in Southern Europe until we have found (and made enough money) to buy some land.

A little holiday sounds like a good forst step, I hope you can make the time for it :)

Much love from Albania <3

Yes! The lack of sun is awful 😖. I'm happy you have found sunnier places. I wish you both blessings with saving as you travel and pray God gives you a nice home 🏡.

Hugs ❤ I'm so sorry 😞
I'm glad you're OK, though. It's a mad world these days.
