The sky washed clean after the wind and the fresh early morning of a new day.

Not my words but Hemingway. Reading his works cheers me up. I love the beautiful simplicity of some of his sentences. Further in the same paragraph from this novel which, written in the 1950s, embraces transgender, three-way relationships:
They both looked fresh and young and as attractive as the wind washed sky.
The ‘wind washed sky’ out of my front window looks extremely attractive right now and it was perfect to be reading this passage this morning after such a stormy week

Currently dating someone and we’re right in that sweet sweet honeymoon period where it’s all sunshine and rainbows and late night chats. Feeling very loved and very happy.

Just saw a news item about a dog waiting outside a hospital in Turkey on a daily basis while it’s owner was a patient. To see them reunited upon his release was heartwarming! :slightly_smiling_face:

Just home from the most beautiful walk with my OH. So good to get out and just breathe in the fresh air.

“when the snow lay 'round about, gathering winter fuel”
Although I don’t think of myself as ‘a poor man’, compared with Good King Wenceslas, everything is relative I guess. After some overnight flurries, the irony of my situation dawned on me as I collected some logs for my stove and brought a big smile to my face
:snowflake: :fire: :grinning:

Just back from my Sunday morning run, lovely crisp frosty countryside, no one about just me and the wildlife, oh and Meatloaf and Freddie Mercury belting them out in my ears, it’s so good to feel alive and invigorated. :man_cartwheeling:

Technically today, as I was up until 4am, watching Team UK emerge victorious over Italy, in probably one of the closest races in the 170 year history of the America’s Cup. With nine lead changes in the half hour race and sailboats travelling at close to 60mph, Ben Ainslie’s crew sealed the win with just yards to go to progress to the finals of the qualifying Prada Cup.

Beauty on my doorstep.

Going for a dog walk in the sunshine and snow, feeding the ducks and moorhens, appreciating the beauty on my doorstep. Really mood lifting and costs nothing! :slight_smile:

Thanks! :slight_smile:

Same here. Locked down, it was great to wrap up and stride out in the open countryside, blue skies and sunshine, showing off its snowy vistas. A far cry from conversations over the weekend with friends from London saying how crowded their parks are. I saw three people in an hour.
