’cause one monkey don’t stop the show [CoA 2]

song: the seed 2.0 – artist: the roots

This past week it’s felt like winter has been trying to make up for lost time. It got frigid and bitter rather quickly and then stayed that way. Most evenings it seemed fuzzy socks AND slippers were a necessity. I’m grateful that layering has the power to warm a body, but after a few days it can start to wear a bit. Then it happened. During one of the first evenings that the fuzzy socks and slippers were keeping my feet from venturing into ice block territory, while I was in the kitchen doing something kitchen-y and a little mundane, I looked down and saw the red pom-poms on the "hats" and the black button eyes of my sock monkey slippers staring up at me. It is nearly impossible not to smile when there are sock monkey slippers, with "hats" adorned with red pom-poms staring up at you. It makes it a little easier not to begrudge winter its winteriness if it means you have reason to be wearing sock monkeys on your feet.
