#midwintersolace

I have definitely trying to change my habits and slow my rhythm this winter. ❄️🩶❄️

kspenmoll I‘ve got to sleep earlier down, but can only wake later obviously on weekends and this week once I‘m back to work it‘s 5:30 AM wake up. Not a morning person. I stumble around the house with my coffee.I can do rest more especially after work. This whole #naturalitsy concept has made me slow down considerably. 3mo
TheBookHippie @kspenmoll it‘s been very good for me #naturalitsy. I loathe mornings as well 😫 I‘m definitely not a morning person!!! 3mo
IMASLOWREADER this is already my rhythm lol im more of a fall winter person than summer…cant sleep early tho but def can sleep in lol and i also am not a morning person even when i have been the opener at work for years lol…my body just never got used to waking up early 3mo
TheBookHippie @IMASLOWREADER I loathe early wake ups 😫. 3mo

#TeamReindeerGamers I have some good news for week 3 #WinterGames. We are extending it until Jan 1st. This is a real points getter. I also posted the top 3 teams for points for the first half of #WinterGsmes. Happy 1st day of winter! This is my favorite day as Spring is coming. @annahenke @kezzlou85 @JessClark78 @Karons1 @MatchlessMarie @aperfectmjk @TorieStorieS @Bluebird

Bluebird Love your outlook on the day! It‘s always been my worst day of the year. Will try to look at it from your POV. 😀 3mo
LiseWorks @Bluebird this morning I woke up to go let the dog out and noticed that all the trees are white with frost. It's going to be a lovely morning later for photos. It's also -21 celcius with no wind. 🥶 brrrrrrr. But after today the days start to get linger. 🫠 3mo

Crazeedi Sorry I just got back on here, I'm so glad you like everything, I'm so happy to have you for my swap partner. As I told you (I hope) I love your city and you are so special too!! 2y
Chrissyreadit Sent you “urgent” email 2y
Avanders @Crazeedi same here — so happy to have you as a swap partner 🤗🤗 And yes! You told me about your connection to Abq! And indeed, it definitely does get cold here! Our average winter lowest-lows are teens and twenties, but it has been known to get even colder than that! ❄️☃️💙 2y

Oh my goodness! These #WinterSolsticeSwap #WSS packageS arrived yesterday! 👏🏽❄️👏🏽🌚👏🏽

Also received the bottom 2 books from #ReesesBookClub — both sound really good!

And finished the 3 graphic novels!
Ghosts was cute and sweet 👍🏽
Witchy had promise, but felt like mostly world-building and not much else… 👌🏽
The Girl From the Other Side was pretty and dark and very well done & intriguing! Will read more 👍🏽

Chrissyreadit I agree 100% about Witchy 2y
Avanders @Chrissyreadit so frustrating too.. so much potential! 2y

Happy Winter Solstice! On this day it's traditional to eat #汤圆 #tangyuan or glutinous rice balls. Luckily I had a stash in my freezer - these are filled with black sesame. Pop them in some boiling water sweetened with sugar and when you eat them you're supposedly a year older (!)

Lacythebookworm So cool! 😊 7y
BookishBlonde12 Yum! 😍 7y
Hooked_on_books That's quite interesting. And way better than the eyeballs I first thought I was looking at. 😂 7y
