This has been a tough, grievous year for me. And now comes winter?
The view from my Suburban Chicago patio door. Ugh, our first snow. Winter can be harsh in the Midwest. Take a hint from the Norwegians. It's time to make everything...
"KOSELIG"
The Norwegians define Koselig as "creating a warmth inside their home that does not exist anymore in the outdoors". Koselig is a warm comfortable home, a home filled with warm quilts and candles. Koselig is a state of mind as well as an action. A warm embrace and a positive attitude. Norwegians embrace the unavoidable necessity of the weather and craft it into a opportunity to enjoy the company of others and a connection with nature.
Sounds like just what I need as winter sets in across Chicagoland.
For me? I will light my favorite scented candle, wrap in my favorite scrappy quilt, lay on the sofa and sip my coffee. I think I will enjoy a Downton Abby marathon with my dog Gus snuggled at my feet!

Tomorrow, I will invite a few close friends for an afternoon of cheese, crackers, wine, talk and laughter. Maybe a game of cards. Lord, how I love those ladies who love me.
"KOSELIG"
Joy, that's my choice this winter,
