    Not Unhappy

    I’ve tried to write this post multiple times before. I’ve never succeeded.

This has been a month of resolutions and retrospection, of tea and Netflix and hibernation. The first real snow has fallen, the temperatures have dropped, and we’re rocking the fleece-lined leggings like nobody’s business. We both…
