I feel similarly about winter this year, which is surprising! Winter was short and mild in the Midwest. I could use some more time to hibernate with my art projects, and some quiet time to reflect. I guess this means we could *make* the time to hibernate, despite what the calendar is telling us.
I grew up just outside of Ottawa and did my undergraduate degree in the city. It's such a lovely area. I'm glad you got the chance to explore!
You're so right that we could *make* time! It's just so much harder to set those boundaries as the weather pulls us outside, to social events, on trips, etc. But I'm going to be more aware of it because making is such an important part of taking care of myself.
Ottawa is so lovely! I wish I had more time to explore.
Thanks for reading, Tania! I use the Pinterest app on my phone and then I take screenshots of my "All Pins" feed and then I put them into a Canva board.

So true! I hope you can still carve out the time when you need it or feel the pull!
I hope the same for you! <3
Your mood boards are so lovely, do you curate them on Pinterest? That restaurant is so very cosy. Really loving your Substack reflections xx
