Great post! I think about outdated stories a lot. In the past few years I’ve started rewriting some to reframe failures as things I have *yet* to achieve or no longer want to achieve, to reframe character traits as positives. I’m not negative, I’m good at defining and solving problems.
Speaking of problems, winter. It’s always hard. I know that dressing really warmly and going outside (instead of fearing being cold and staying inside) really helps. And yet, I still don’t do it. Shrug.
The winter lack of sunlight gives me the sads for sure, but at the same time, I do love the opportunity for being chilly and getting to warm up and get all cozy with blankets and cuddles and critters and hot cocoa. Coming in from an hour of playing with the snow, feeling the warmth come back into my toes and nose and fingers, piling on the blankets and being just-slightly-too-toasty-but-in-the-snuggliest-way, is one of my favorite feelings. 💛💛💛
