Simple

Normally I hate getting up in the cold, don't get me wrong I love winter but honestly I would rather be in bed cuddling and keeping warm, actually anything really if it means I don't have to get up.

But today was different.

I woke up just knowing that today was going to be something different, something special.

I made myself a cup of hot chocolate (yeah you're a really bad influence) and for some reason in this cold decided to head out on to the balcony.

And boy am I glad I did.

There was just something so magical about the sunrise this morning, the crisp clear air, the colours that just seemed to pop, even the few wispy clouds that there where just seemed so much whiter and more there than usual.

And then I looked down at the cars in the parking lot and what a site that was.

The stark whiteness of the frost on the windscreens, the greyish white of the frost on the garden (that's what happens when you water your garden after 5pm). The trees had a crispness that I haven't seen in a long time. Even the lights out on the freeway seemed clearer and brighter. There was just something so magical about the whole view. Something serene, something simple, something almost peaceful.

And that peacefulness was contagious because suddenly everything that seemed so complicated yesterday seems so simple
