Thinking Warm

Holy icicles, has it been cold in Chicago this week. On this morning's commute to work, the temp gage registered -13. Frost bite warnings are frequent and issued by everyone from the local weatherman to the conductor on the El to folks on the street.

No matter though - because I'm choosing to think warm. That's right - planning a trip to CA in the coming weeks and just remembering all things warm. Images from our honeymoon trip to Nevis, those beloved Santa Monica sunsets over the pier, bike rides and runs and walks along the beach, anything that conjures warmth and sunshine and time spent outdoors.

Even through frigid temps, the sun has peeked through the bleak Chicago sky this week and I'm grateful for that. I always welcome a visit from my good friend, the Sun, and am amazed at the difference it can make. Come back often, Mr. Sun!

So a couple of images to focus on until outdoor patios and sunny strolls and days at the dog park are here again. Stay warm folks! And for you Californians - send a little love our way, will you? You know the old sayings about sharing.....pretty please?
