Relationship Note on Marisol
It's not the first time I've passed out from too much drink but it's certainly the most fun I've had doing it. Consummate hostess. But I most certainly could use a cure all of some sort sent to me by a very quiet messenger.

Many people use 'hope' and 'want' interchangeably, though there are important differences between the two. This is easier to see when you consider that you can want something and not hope for it, as well as hoping for something and not wanting it.
For an example of the former situation, many of us have been in a situation where we want to go back and change something that has happened in the past. For instance, to warn someone of the damage a certain course of action will bring about and convince them to do it differently. However, to hope for that is insane, because it is impossible. You might be able to repair the damage, or you might not, but in either case, there is no going back to prevent it. What's done is done.
The latter situation is a bit trickier, admittedly. But let's say there is a course of action that you don't want to take, but see that it is necessary. You don't want it for yourself, nor do you want it for anyone else. You probably hope that others will see the necessity and follow you down that path anyway, however your desire might be different.

A little dagger throwing never hurt anyone. My cousins throw the best parties! So glad they're here! So glad they gave me ideas!

You're back! Welcome. It's felt like forever since I saw you last.
You were so very much missed.

The first snow of winter is here. It's a special time, one of seeing the world quiet and still, the animals withdrawn to endure the cold, the birds flown south for kinder climates. There's a peace in a field of pristine snow, one that never lasts.

The fatigue is unrelenting. Every time I lay my head down I pray that when I wake I will feel like myself. And every time I open my eyes and feel the weight of all my yesterdays settling on my shoulders, into my bones and I just... it is hard sometimes. To get out of bed in the mornings. But the world continues to go on. It does not stop because we are tired. We must march on. Find the strength to keep going. One foot in front of the other. Watching my children suffer the same fatigue I feel is breaking my heart. There has to be an answer. There must be. This is what I tell myself. This is what will be until we are not.

I signed a contract with the Redwood Company. It's a good thing and this should keep me afloat until I can meet with Felix.

Relationship Note on Raven
Wishing we could tell ourselves from those bygone days that they will endure those aches, those hardships; that they will survive. It is something I know.
The next chapter of your journey lays ahead of you, yes. Perhaps even frought with peril. But I know, in my heart of hearts, that you shall do wonderful things, Raven, my dear friend.

We're framing a very beautiful and extremely accurate painted depiction of myself as a very muscular shark-man-person fighting other sharks, and on a Totally Not-At-All Related Note Nalls just got a promotion to Terrapin's quartermaster! Congrats Nalls!!
(Also, the Lady Videl Igniseri is an extremely generous teacher and host for putting up with such a rowdy crowd. I highly recommend her next art appreciation afternoon!)

My favorite time of year is only two and a half months off. The tail end of Winter before the first snowdrops blossom. When the world is a landscape of glittering white, but the cold has broken, and the promise of warmth is in the breeze.

My eternal gratitude to those who have reached out to offer their help with the preparation of the Tournament of Thorns. Even beyond my esteemed Committee, there are those who have taken the time to offer aid and I have taken them up on it, and will continue to take them up on it, whosoever may volunteer. Many hands make light work, it's true, but many minds and many skills make an event to remember.

Winter is here.
Perhaps the snow will remain white, yet I suspect it will be red, instead.

Winter has arrived with the turning of the year. It is hard to believe it is already 1011. I think back over what has happened the past year and wonder what challenges we will have to face in the year coming, and pray we have the strength and courage to get through them.

I wish that I could go back in time, find the starving child I was, digging through the trash for scraps. I'd tell her that everything would be okay. That her life would be unimaginably better.
I've gotten my first command. Just a pair of Dromonds to start, but it's more than I've ever had. I think this is the start of something fantastic.

I woke today to snow.
It is covering the tree tops and it smells so fresh. It makes the woods that little bit quieter. A little more special.
It is my favorite day of the year. The first snow of the season.
