mmmm, Its a snowy afternoon here in Moscow, Idaho and only 2 days before Christmas. I’m hoping the weather stays cold so we have a white Christmas. All my shopping is done, the dogs have been walked, and I’ve settled in my chair to re-read “Eat, Pray, Love” by Elizabeth Gilbert. I really liked the book the first time, but have the intuition that I need to read it again right now. I have a feeling I will be posting some of my thoughts and feelings related to the book so stay tuned. I’ve decided to take a little break from reading to capture the moment I’m having.
I wish I could describe to those of you that haven’t seen my place, how cozy it is right now. With the snow falling outside, the light coming in is a soft gray hue which is blending with some of my soft white christmas lights I have. My ipod is playing a mix of “keli music,” which entails a lot of soft vocals and easy going tunes. Music that gives me a perma-grin. :) My feet are kicked up over the sides of my oversized chair and I’m sipping on Wild Berry Zinger by Celestial Seasonings. I have a few candles lit, and the puppas are sprawled out on the floor content.
There are only two things that could make this situation more perfect than it already is. The first would be having a fireplace lit, oh how that makes a room sooo cozy. The second would be having someone sprawled out on the couch immersed in their own book. It’s so nice and comforting to share reading silence with someone, where we might occasionally share a part of the story that needs expressing.
mmm, I love afternoons like this. Everyone should take the time to create a space for themselves, make a cup of tea, put on so me good tunes and read. Ahhhh, what simple pleasures make me smile. I hope your Sunday afternoon, is a warm and lovely as mine.
