spending the evening with loved ones. going out for desserts and staring at the last moon of the year on the rainy drive home. waking up to the first sunrise of the year. the suns golden light spilling into my room. starting afresh with new calendars and diaries. days old birthday flowers in a vase that reads ‘where flowers bloom so does hope’. starting the year on a good note.
the sun illuminating the morning. the bare trees bathed in an orangey-pink light and the fields all white with frost. the light finding its way through every crack and crevice of the winter landscape. seeing friends after a while. the warmth of a coffee shop in the evening. a little housewarming with family. the snow and the sunrise. visiting the record store. good food. browsing a flower shop. hot coffee in the cold.
the way the birds gather on the roof every morning. the sun and the fields. getting brunch at a pretty restaurant with a friend. visiting bookshops and vintage shops. blue skies reflected on the river. stumbling across new bookshops and cafes. rifling through old postcards at the antique store. bumping into a friend at the train station after years. blue-skied snowy days. visiting the sculpture and art gallery. the sun kissing my face while i read on an hour-long train journey. the steamy windows of a cafe. white tulips. strawberry jam. frosty fields. watching studio ghibli films on the weekend. trying new teas.
making fresh bread and tomato and pepper soup. a call with a friend. the moon. drinking cups of jasmine milk tea. a cute message on my fortune cookie. spending hours at the library reading. sitting in a cafe on a cold morning with the sun shining through the windows and good music playing. going to the cinema alone. a meal with a friend. silly photobooth pictures. rainy evening drives with good music and good company.
your writing always makes me feel so warm and peaceful. i hope your february is as beautiful as your january <3
