moments: November

the last month of autumn, but the beginning of a new adventure;

time to take risks and do the unexpected

OH, NOVEMBER. The gloomiest of months has come and passed, it's already December and there's already been snow in Warsaw. Everything looked so white for a while that I even started liking premature Christmas decorations, flashing lights and multiple Santas popping from every corner. But November, well, it's one of this months when your top priority is avoiding going out because it's windy, the sun is gone and hence you overdose on vitamin D while looking at bloggers from Paris sporing oversize coats with high heels and two bare feet. And then you look in the mirror and see a cross of a penguin with a snowman or anything big and round enough. There's no justice in this world...

November has never been m favourite month. Even back in the days when I used to spend every weekend watching skijumping and would always wait until that one magical weekend in November when the first competition was held. And now? November is my endless wait and some unwanted transition between coats and puffer jackets, berets and beanies, sneakers and winter boots. But I can't complain. Many good things tend to happen to me in November and that's why it's also the month of hope, even though everything around is so hopelessly grey and sad.
