The sadness behind online snark threads, how to apologize, the button down I'm living in, and more.
I consider myself a four season person. I enjoy them all for different reasons, despite their inconsistency and drastic variety (thanks to climate change). That said, this winter was a brutal one. It wasn’t particularly cold or severe, but we have had no sun. I did not realize how much that affected me/all of us (in a not good way) until we got here, and had 3 full days of sunshine, from 7am to 7pm. We’ve all been so happy. Our days have been simple…pool, beach, eat, repeat. Our trip was short, but I think it was long enough to sustain us until spring, whenever that may be.
Lots of great links this week. Hope you enjoy!
