inclemency

it's amazing what a little weather does to a girl.
suddenly my hands are holding mugs, my feet are covered by wool socks, and my bed welcomed three more blankets.
the snow, the rain, the sleet
bring about all kinds of feelings.
the weather is inviting all sorts of nostalgia.

almost in an instant, i could vividly remember the feelings of warm fires and knit scarves.
walking around temple square and seeing the lights.
purposely cooping up indoors because the roads are icy.
huddling together in oh-so many ways.

i can feel the thick holiday air surrounding me,
and it's so very lovely.
