The Month Of Warmth: December 2023 Recap

December’s theme of “warmth” had two meanings 🙂 . First was the fact that I spent half of the month soaking up the sun in Puerto Vallarta, México where it was literally warm (75F), and the second was that I spent the rest of the month in Upstate NY with family that makes my heart warm…in an emotional way, not a concerning medical condition way 🙂 .

I was too busy sipping margs, laughing in the pool and eating so much delicious food I could burst 😉 , I but promised myself that the next time we visited, I would go to that national park!
