45. That’s a No From Me

That is the feeling plenty of us have had. Just look outside, go, “nope!” and back to bed. The allure of a cozy bed on a cold, unwelcoming day is a universal tug. It’s a silent agreement between us and our blankets that no matter what’s out there—be it rain, snow, or just bone-chilling cold—inside is better.

The bed becomes a sanctuary, a cocoon of warmth in the wintry world. Who could blame anyone for turning their back to the grey skies and choosing the soft embrace of pillows instead? Sometimes, the bravest thing you can do is give yourself another five… or fifty minutes.
