It's still winter, but I find myself excited for spring. The first set of blooms. The rays of sun on our faces. Rabbits escaping.

In the meantime, someone told me a snow-appropriate joke. I would like to share it with you, Scholar. Please do not hold me responsible for other people's humour.

Where do snowmen love to dance?

At a snowball.

It's time to start layering mittens and doubling up my scarves.

There's such a beautiful sense of community here. I feel like home is everywhere, and I'm excited for the next chapter of my life.
My friends, my family, my neighbours; you've given me such a great gift. I am forever grateful.

I am honoured to take on the role of First Seeker of the Society of Explorers. I am excited to support and assist such a great organization. Lord Vitalis did such a good job, those are big shoes to fill!

I joined the Society when I first came to Arx from Tremorus. But not only did I learn more about the city, I got to see so many incredible places in the Compact. I made good friends, I learnt new skills, I challenged myself in ways I would have never thought when I started. Wandering about was always my passion in life, I am grateful I can combine it with my duties.

I look forward to what the future holds and will strive to do a good job.

You see, that's the sign of a true friendship.

There is something to be said about spending a couple weeks on a tropical beach. To leave the hustle and bustle of regular life and just be. It's hard re-adjusting, coming back to a normal life. It feels different. It's hard to explain. Surreal, perhaps? Unnecessarily complex??

I went on quite an incredible climb on a small island in the Lyceum. It was invigorating (mud puddle included). I met lovely people and we were able to find the flowers we were searching for. I hope that Dame Dagmar enjoys the violets, that it brings her some peace and joy in her final days. It was a memorable experience, one which I am grateful for.

And soon it comes to an end, this horrible winter. Spring is almost here, fresh with new opportunity. Let it push through the frozen ground and bloom with all its might.

There are days that winter feels endless. It is like the cold will never cease and the snow might just stay forever. Yet, there is comfort in knowing, this will pass, everything changes, just give it another day. And another. And another.

When I was a girl, I was shown a picture of two people standing facing each other and looking down at the ground.

Drawn there, was a single number. The person on the left saw a '6' and the person on the right saw a '9'.

I was asked, who sees the correct number? The person on the left or the one on the right?

There is no correct answer to that question, only that perspective makes it so.

Just because you are right, doesn't mean I am wrong.

We'd do well to seek understanding, not just answers.

Relationship Note on Remus

It's always a delight to catch-up with my brother, Remus. He is sharp and focused. He has a unique skill for seeing both the bigger picture and the finer details. I look forward to these new things we've found in common, and what we might achieve there.

It's good to have him home. Well, this home.

The other day, I rode out to the edge of the forest, because I wanted to see the sunset from a different vantage point. Sunshine was perfect, as she always is, she goes so fast. I felt lazy though, it was a hot day and the breeze smelt like heat and I ate too much candy on the way.

We happened on a small trail, that I don't recall seeing on past adventures. The path was just the right size for both of us. I didn't want to go. I was happy to keep to my plans, but my horse had better ideas. She nudged a couple times and I gave in, I always do. I didn't know what I would find, but I trusted her instincts. My legs got all scratched because I cannot make sense of trousers and sun had already started to dip, but once you've gone so far? You've got to see what happens at the end.

I had a good laugh, when we came to an apple tree. Sunshine knows what she wants, and when you do? You find it.

Life is beautiful, even when the surface cracks.

It's easy to make decisions from the comfort of our disassociation, but it's something else to live the repercussions and dance with the outcomes. You might trip, you might fall, but there is no replacement for authenticity. It's more rare than the finest jewels, and more powerful than any weapon.

There is no other feeling quite like having sand between your toes and wind in your hair.
It is a feeling I base so many others on, and compare them doubly so.
