that brings you closer to other people.
it’s one thing to be friendly when all the world is - sunny, warm temperatures, shorts and bright colors. it’s a completely different thing when even the skies take on a gray tint.
it’s cold and hard to get out of the house. everything requires extra effort, everything is covered with frost.
but then there’s a flip side. buildings become cozy, the warmth and friendliness of summer preserved in a cup of coffee or tea. and when it’s shared with other people, it becomes a moment of instant friendship.
blankets are shared, feet in thick socks and uggs. breath is frozen in the air, then melted by the warmth of a bonfire, huddled together. holiday food, blankets, cooking, memories.
when all the world is cold and moody - that extra measure, that extra effort it takes to be a friend and reach out - is all the more worthwhile.
