Love your post! I’ve experienced some of the same feelings when it comes to embracing each season, especially when it comes to summer. I try to soak in as much as the sun as possible! Even small things like taking a walk at sunset helps me stay present and appreciate the little things.
Ah I feel much the same about the cold and dark season of winter—last time I worked so hard to learn how fully appreciate it instead of resent it…here’s hoping those memories will help me on the upcoming season. But for now, aahh late summer :) Enjoyed this post, thank you!

Cheers to wintering well this upcoming season. Thank you for reading.
literally woke up out my sleep and one of my first thoughts were to revisit this essay before going back asleep. needless to say, i could live in it.
So kind, Natalie.
Love the visual of you searching for pine cones :) Glad you leaned into it!
I can't remember ever looking forward to winter but I have a lot of writing that I'm hoping to do this winter so it's nice to slow down a little.
Winter is hard to look forward to but I am learning recently it has its merits.
What a gorgeous painting, the greens, pinks, and reds are so summery I can feel the sun shining through it & through your words. Thank you for sharing
Thank you, Rebecca. I am a fan of your Substack, btw. Makes me want to spend more time with my thrifted art books.
That’s definitely my favorite way to spend time! Thanks so much! ❤️
Love this!
This! I've never heard of hygge before, but I like it! It's exactly what my wife, Linda, and I have been trying to manifest in our little world.
