These Are A Few Of My Favourite Things... (Blogmas Day 17)

Hey everyone!
So this will be a very quick little post since I desperately need to get back to studying but I'm starting to feel more in that warm fuzzy Holiday mood and I thought I'd share a few of the things that make me happy this time of year when I'm feeling down.
I'm honestly so grateful for how amazing my friends are to me. Even though it's pretty much the busiest time of year for us all, they still manage to be there for me when I need them most and I appreciate it beyond belief. It makes everything so much better when I'm feeling down.
On a less serious note, here are the other things making my down days a bit better;

Sweet hot chocolate with a mountain of marshmallows

Candy canes!

Wrapping gifts with music on in the background

How pretty the twinkling lights of the tree are when its dark

The gorgeous Christmas displays in the windows of stores

Warm blankets fresh out of the dryer

Someone holding you when you don't feel well

Cute pictures of puppies and kittens (foolproof happiness tip)

I've had a really rough year this year but I honestly wouldn't have made it through in one piece if it wasn't for the amazing support I have. And I definitely wouldn't be feeling so happy and festive if it wasn't for those things I listed :)
What makes you feel better when you're down? What helps you feel more in that Christmas spirit? Let me know

1 Year of Covid-19: A reflection

It feels like just yesterday we were all feeling the anxiety and uncertainty of a new disease that was spreading quickly around the world that no one truly understood yet. We were facing the first wave of cases, the fear of going outside and being around people and the first round of quarantines and restrictions. It feels like just yesterday, but also so long ago. I, and I am sure many others, am feeling a mix of emotions. Sad for the loss of comfort we once had. Grief for all the lives lost and permanently changed. Thankful for my health and that of my family. Gratitude for the scientists and frontline workers alike, working tirelessly behind the scenes I hope that one day we can return to a new normal. I hope that one day I'll be able to go to work and not feel afraid to get too close to my coworkers and patients. I hope that no one will ever again have to face the end of their lives all alone. I hope that no one has their life cut short because of...
