This December makes my heart feel full. Reconnecting with people does that to me.

I talked about this with my friends, and we agree: even though the first two weeks of the month are habitually more stressful — mostly because of wrapping things up at work in order to fully enjoy the winter holidays — this time feels different from a usual vacation.

Another month, another set of quiet joys. As the days grow colder, they seem to grow cosier too — if you choose to let them.

What an intense month… October started with travel and excitement, then turned into 2 weeks at home on a sick leave, before picking up again with gentle, autumn vibes.
