I think you are right Dr Khasla. I am British but now live 7km from Russia in Finland's South. I do not feel I want to party or socialize in the snowy winter. I love to sit outside in my snow suit in the silence and listen to the birds on my feeder with a cup of hot milky coffee or your gorgeous golden milk ( made from your recipe). I love to bake bread or cakes in my beautiful soapstone oven heater and enjoy time with my cats. I keep the main room lights off and use salt lamps to light up my rooms and ofcourse I make a nice evening of sitting in my sauna and then going outside in the snow to cool off. I do not feel alone or feel the need to be pressured into doing things I do not feel are right for me and as you say I now embrace the dark and cold and the rest from all the summer work when I work hard to grow the food I preserve to eat in the winter here on my little farm.
Oh my gosh!!! I looooove this. It's so perfect and idyllic and SO how I'd love to spend my winter days. I shared this with my daughter and I think you're her new heroine!
