It's snowing! The high today is in the positive double digits! This is an improvement.

Song of the Day:
I'll Be Seeing You // Ann Hampton Callaway

This song breaks my heart every time. The line "in every lovely summer's day" somehow gets to me the most.
Also, even though it talks about summer, it puts me in mind of snow.

4)) The Cyclopædia of Social Usage: Manners and Customs of the Twentieth Century, Helen L Roberts

I feel like I could write a whole story based in these principles now. I find it fascinating. In one way I'd hate to have to live under all those rules, but in another it's nice how everything was structured around the consideration for others' feelings.
Then again, the highest form of etiquette these days requires just about the same thing, but do we follow it?
I'm trying to figure out why that last thought makes me happy. Somehow the reassurance that people have always been the same gives me comfort.
The rules are only defined by how we break them.

Have a great day, everyone. ^____^
