Solitude Among Millions

There is something about the first major snowfall that brings a sense of quiet. Amongst the chaos of the city, there’s a feeling of solitude. The snow reshapes the city by covering the flaws and offering a fresh perspective.

It’s time to prepare the mind for the winter.

Let’s face it winter can break you if you let it. The long dark days. The frigid nostril-sticking-together cold that makes your bones ache. The exhaustion caused by the weight of constantly wearing every piece of clothing you own. It can all beat you down.

To get through it find moments of solitude. Setting time aside to be alone has been known to increased happiness and help reduce depression. So, when winter punches you in the throat, spend some time alone enjoying what surrounds you.
