Eleven dollars can get you a miniature tree and set of colorful ornaments, also teeny.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Target is a magical place.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Also magical\u2014consecutive days of sunlight (!), which undoubtedly played a role in my optimism. Winter can be as depressing as it is cold; a glimpse of blue sky is cause to be grateful. Even my little pair of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thesill.com\/collections\/4-pothos\">pothos<\/a>, leaves limp from weeks of grey, have perked and now stretch towards the light. Thirty-degree weather and frosted cars are more bearable under the sun.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A drawerful of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uniqlo.com\/alexanderwang18fw\/us\/en\/\">Uniqlo x Alexander Wan<\/a>g heattech helps, too. (I now live in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uniqlo.com\/us\/en\/women-heattech-ribbed-leggings-alexander-wang-413359.html?dwvar_413359_color=COL09&amp;cgid=women-uniqlo-and-alexander-wang-heattech\">ribbed tights<\/a> and rotate the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uniqlo.com\/us\/en\/women-heattech-extra-warm-long-sleeve-bodysuit-alexander-wang-415385.html?dwvar_415385_color=COL09&amp;cgid=women-uniqlo-and-alexander-wang\">bodysuits<\/a>.) So does a steady stream of hot yerba mate green tea. When my kettle isn&#8217;t within an arm&#8217;s length reach\u2014in winter, I strategically set up my at-home work station so I can easily refill and heat up water for seamless replenishment\u2014I go wherever non-dairy lattes are served. Usually, it&#8217;s Starbucks; basic, yes, but it&#8217;s en route to work. Sometimes it&#8217;s Pret for a black coffee, Blank Slate for matcha. I&#8217;m not picky with the drink so long as it&#8217;s extra hot and caffeinated, but I do prefer mine with good conversation and even better company.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Like on Saturday, when I met M\u00edriam for lunch, which then turned into tea because we couldn&#8217;t stop talking. It still feels surreal, especially now that I&#8217;m sharing it here (I hope you don&#8217;t mind, M.!) because she and I have &#8220;known&#8221; each other for just about a decade now, back when she was blogging and I was writing under &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/kimberlypearl.co\/blog\/?s=%22la+couturier%22\">La Couturier<\/a>.&#8221; The world is growing more hateful and terrifying by the day, but moments like this\u2014instant connection, despite being across the world\u2014are necessary, special reminders of humanity and its magic.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">To simple but significant changes.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">To friendships that feel rooted, but are new.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">To sun, heattech, and hot tea (sipping English Breakfast from Liberty as I write, a thoughtful and fitting gift from M\u00edriam.)<\/p>\r\nTo Thursdays, which are one sleep away from Friday\u2014meaning there is a weekend ahead to be thankful for.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">.\u00a0 \u00a0.\u00a0 \u00a0.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">xx<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:post-content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the last two weeks I&#8217;ve felt more at ease with myself than I have in a long time\u2014a byproduct of growing older and wiser, I assume.
