Feeling depressed?
There are lots of happy things in Winter! Monsieur Pablo, pointed that out nicely somewhere in my earlier posts! Not everything has to be depressing, although you can be easily tricked to think negative about stuff. We have to find the fun things in it! Soooo...anyone want some hot choco? Maybe topped with whipped cream or marshmallows? No wait, some cookies on the side?
The getting dark early thing also can be fun. The lights in the city illuminates the surroundings and gives it a mysterious glow. Lovely ^_^. And not to forget all the holidays! there is always that special vibe in the air. You know that 'holiday vibe'? Well I call it that way, basically because of all the holidays. Clever huh...I know...
Oh snow fights! Yes I did tell that the snow in Holland is pathetic (maybe not in those exact words...), but whenever we do have snow...I like to throw a few at unexpected sisters or brother *evil laugh*
Just a random sketch, which I quickly colored with a wash of watercolor
Don't you just love a nice cup of coffee or tea in the morning? I do! What do you like to drink early in the morning? I have a few favorite mugs, I like to drink from. I have one HUGE Grumpy mug...with huge, I really mean huge. Maybe I should post a picture of it...
But I know a few people who have to have their coffee in a specific mug, otherwise the day is destined to be horrible.
Oh before I go, a special thanks to Paula for giving me the 'Over the top' blog award! Really many many thanks! This award did came with a questionnaire, but I don't have the time to answer them and I probably would have to dig in my mind to tell you guys something new about me hehe! I need to recharge...or something like that. I like the illustration of this one ^_^.
Thank you for reading as always!
Have a lovely day!
hi!!! I like very much cofee with milk! :)
ReplyDelete@ Jenea: Hello hello! Oh yes, a hot cup of coffee with milk is very tasty ^_^! Takes so much for stopping by! Take care
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely point of wiew about the winter! I don´t think it´s so bad(here it´s not very cold but it rains a lot) but then everything is green on spring...
ReplyDeleteI couldn´t survive in the morning without my coffee in my "special" cup, I could kill(he, he). It´s just like your illo, I hug my cup and well, it is a small thing but I love that moment.
And in the afternoon I hug my tea, but I use whatever cup. Isn´t it weird?? Humans are animals of routine!
Hey TJ! I agree - there are so many good things about winter that more than make up for the bad bits. Hot chocolate with marshmallows probably being high on the list :D and for me, nights in watching rubbish TV with my family and the dog. Yeh! Rock and roll!
ReplyDeleteCute drawing! Is that mug actually that size in comparison to you?? WOW!
Oh and thanks for the words of encouragement on me blog - yeh, get your cheerleading pom poms out! Take care, ken :D
Oh yeah winters are fun fun fun. The cold part is the only bad thing but like you mentioned there are so many positives to Winters. Nice Daily topic you brought up today Tj. Now go get so hot Coco and draw. Oh and love the drawing. That cupcake made me hungry. Oh and Congrats on being OVER THE TOP!! WHooo!
ReplyDelete@ Encaracolada: Thank you for stopping by!! Lately it isn't that cold here as well. In fact a bit to warm for this time of the year ^_^'. That means...no snow I think.
ReplyDeleteuh oh! You could kill! I have to be careful around you if you didn't have your coffee yet hehehehe! Humans can be indeed slaves of routine! Ciao XOXO!!
@ Ken: Hiya Ken! Very true. It isn't bad to have a few bad bits, as long you look at the fun bits as well! They are really important!
My Grumpy mug is HUGE! really it is! And Grumpy is...well he is Grumpy hahaha!
*grabs pom poms* okay so now I have to cheer a bit more *thinks*...I don't have a cheer ready! Wait wait! I will think of something! Don't worry!
Thanks for strolling by! Ciao ^_^!
@ Pablo: Hello hello! Thanks for your lovely words! I will get some hot choco and I will draw a bit more! Promise you do the same :)!
Oh! I drew something different, at least it is a different drawing style haha. I will post it one of these days. I need to alter a few bits in it!
You know, I wanted to make cup cakes with choco chips...I ran out of choco chips and then I got lazy...-_-'''.
Ciao *waves*!!!

ReplyDeleteHi TJ! I HATE winter.... it's sooooo cold! I don't have even a feather! Squaaaack!

ReplyDeleteTJ! So true. Thanks for all the help with the link. My dashboard actually has a button that says LINK. guess i missed it...also great illustration as always!
ReplyDeleteYes, in order to survive the winter cold and darkness you must embrace it. Skate, ski, snowmen, tea, coffee, hot soup, etc.
ReplyDeleteI still don't like it!
