Admire winter and sparkle in happiness for the whole season

I wish I could have enjoyed my winter more, but it was marked by one of the most catastrophic events of my life, which was shortly followed by yet another of the most catastrophic events of my life. I’m still trying recover in the aftermath. But, I have every hope that this spring, this fall, and next winter will be better.

i’d saw spring is apon oxford finally. its warmer(well a little) generally sunnier and getting greener. i dont think ive managed to sparkle through out, but i have achieved alot, and have some good memeories of the past couple of months!

the clocks officially go back on sunday, but for me spring is already here….

I’m tempted to give up on this goal, because I know I haven’t enjoyed and appreciated winter all season at all. When I hear the forecasts for more snow, my heart sinks. I am longing for spring.

But I’ll keep the goal on the list a bit longer, to keep reminding myself to enjoy the beauty of this season in whatever ways I can.

first it arrived in Doha for Legionella, and now i do believe it has arrived here too! beautiful sunshine here, warmer temps -although still coat weather, and my first run of the year.

anyone else experienced spring-y wingy??

also is a new spring goal needed?

Spring arrived to Doha, although we didn’t have a real winter here, only the weather was cooler, and for 1-2 days it was even raining.
But the Christmas season was wonderful, january quiet boring as usual, and this February should be nice as well, with our 6th anniversary and Valentines day next week.

today when i woke up. i went to a lecture and when i left there were people in the park making snow men etc..
it occured to me that it never crossed my mind to ‘play’ in the snow, and i rarely do silly happy things!! this must change! im now focusing on losening up and being more happy and carefree! hopefully….maybe i should make a goal to aim for??

anyway i admired the snow, it was very white and pure – beautiful! :)

It doesn’t happen often here in London but we have some thick winter white snow. My family has made a snowman and earlier I had a snowball fight with my boyfriend (he won, i had snow all over me!)

It was nice to go past the park and see the children with their sleds. It makes me feel like watching a Narnia film or something.

it snowed today, and looked so beautiful in the evening with fragile white drops floating from the sky!!! and ive found dressing right i.e. warmer makes everything a little easier!

Its hard to sparkle with happiness, when the temps are in the single digits and the wind is cold and it just keeps snowing and it feels like winter is never going to end.

But its getting warmer (in the 20s F) and the days are getting longer, and it is almost February, which means it is the beginning of the end.

I wanted to appreciate winter with this goal more, and I still would like to. I wanted to go sledding or skiing or snow-showing or ice skating, and I’ve yet to this winter. The snow-covered trees outside my office window are beautiful, but I still don’t feel like I’m sparkling.

Instead, I curl up with DVDs, and enjoy my coffee and take solace in the fact that spring is coming soon.

well as much as i adore this goal, its hard! im laying low – as in horizontal with the earthworms low – and just trying to get this winter over with!
its cold, i dont know many people, and im reclucing into books and food(which isnt a bad thing, im still being productive just not sparkling like i intended with this goal).

but i must push through! winter has been pretty, ive already visisted spain and am off to copenhagen next week too, my uni results come soon which will help me plan my future, am back to uni in feb and have some intresting career opportunities ahead of me…

looking to the future has me sparkling again!
