Our lives are being dictated by the latest weather forecast and too many days trapped inside has left us feeling positively horrid. (Make sure to read that last sentence with your very best Boston Brahmin accent)
In an effort to push back the dreariness, I've chosen to completely ignore energy conservation and leave the lamps on virtually all day.
I will drag myself from an attitude of abasement by making a list to remind of the simple pleasures life has to offer. After all, it is the simple things that truly light up our lives....no electricity needed!
My list...
the warm, cosy fire that I've had burning for most of the day
a cup of tea while sitting in my favorite chair
hot, fresh croissants...that I made from scratch!
bouquet of tulips on the mantle... sent by my loving husband
a weekend trip to a warmer climate
the joy of seeing The Young Victoria
What makes your list?
Walking in the snow and enjoying the beauty of God's creation in winter always cheers me up. It is always delightful to come across tracks left by some small animal and sometimes I even see a little mole or a rabbit scurrying through the woods.
