December is here again ... all the magic, the purity, rising hopes and joy. That's why December has probably most affect on us. It's the month that leaves us wrapping together untied bonds, make us fulfil the goals we set ourselves in the beginning of the year and gets us thinking about friends, family and everything we love around us. December is the month of beauty, though it comes in harsh, cold wrap. It shows us how sometimes we have to go through struggles to see that beauty that in fact lies exactly at front of us! People can be so blind and not only about what's around them, but what's happening inside of themselves. Being busy with school, work, social life we tend to forget being friends with ourselves or even finding out who we are. But December reminds us it again and tells us to take the moment of fresh air, breathe and then go on.
My first Advent was the most traditional one there could ever be .. sleeping til noon, eating chocolate crepes for breakfast and cuddling in a blanky for the whole day watching movies. The December in Estonia was welcomed with quite a storm but nevertheless it was heartwarming to wake up and looking out of the window seeing Advent Candles on the windows of my next-door neighbor. Those little things sometimes bring the most joy - like seeing a smile or a candle light.
This is the reason why I encourage you to right now, during this month, take a look at yourself and think whether you've given yourself enough time and care. Give yourself that day of pampering, bake some cookies and watch Christmas-movies. Have a moment for relaxing and enjoy the beautiful little things in life! For you to have a little kick-start, here are some sparks of inspiration that make me feel like I've found my way to a far-away winter wonderland :)
Have an amazing beginning of December! :*
