10 Reasons to Be Happy About the Time Change

I moan and groan about Winter and the shorter days and longer nights it brings, but there are a few things I really look forward to. Such as...

1. taking lots of steaming hot baths
2. making soul-warming soups and stews for dinner
3. taking yoga classes by candlelight with steam on the windows
4. walking the dogs in the cool night air
5. steaming mugs (or bowls) of hot chocolate and mochas
6. the smell of wood burning in fireplaces
7. all those cookies
8. cashmere and boots
9. holiday parties with lots of champagne
10. snuggling under the down comforter

How about you? What do you look forward to?
