Wintery Optimism

It's November! And you know what that means! It's Christmas time again!

Even though it's a month and a half away, all the stores are getting their Christmas on in a big way. My favourite place to go over the Holiday season: Starbucks! They've changed all of the signage and displays to that wonderful red colour and start promoting my personal favourite drink, the peppermint mocha. And this year, they have a great little Advent Calendar that I've just been convinced to buy.

Winter can be such a depressing time with the cold weather and the departure of the sun for long periods of time, but there's always that shining light of hope to hold onto when you know Christmas is coming. Of course, after that you're screwed if you live here in the North, 'cause you've still got four more months of winter to make it through. But hey, there are worse things right? (...right?)

The other thing I'm looking forward to this winter is potentially learning to snowboard! I've never given it a shot, but I think this is the year to get it done. The last bunch of years involved a lot of waiting around for a certain jerk to actually want to do something with me. This year, I'm single, so if friends want to do something, I'm in!

See? I've managed to convince myself that winter is a great time! At least until the next big dump of snow...

Now onto a little bit of bad news: I failed. I set myself a goal to go to the gym, and I didn't go. I had every intention of going, but video games won out. So now I'll reset my goal and try again. This time next week: gym time will have happened. Or there will be some sort of consequence. I'm not sure what that will be yet. Maybe no Starbucks for a week? That would be pretty sad... Aaanyway, I'm gonna leave it here, with a picture of my morning coffee! That's fun right?
