Warm And Cozy


Winter has come to Texas  .
Oh my goodness ! It is cold outside .
I know some people really enjoy
 winter weather
like
my son ,but not me !
I don't like night falling so early .
 I really don't like being cold at all
but
 I like cozy .

I am making soup , burning candles , getting out the throws
and my lavender blanket .
My study is filled with good music, DVDs
and the love seat is full of  fluffy new pillows .

My garden is planted and filled with greens and more greens .
I have enough new cookbooks to keep me busy 
and
next Sunday I am putting up my Christmas tree .

All of these things are heartfelt pleasures
to help me appreciate the beauty of this slow down season ...

 I have talked myself into giving winter a chance to
win my heart
and
for the first time I am ready for the soft flow
of
this season to fill me with it's quiet and lovely
peace .

I wish you warm and cozy winter nights .
Hugs,

Dottie

  4. Dottie, I am trying to give the cold weather a chance, too. The past few years, I have grinched my way through the cold... I am making an attempt to find joy in the shivering! LOL! Wish me luck. I'm liking your idea of cozy! You make a good positive spin on winter. =)

  9. You have the right idea. Delicious food served in warm, soft, light; then relax with a comfortable throw around yourself, listen to soothing music, all while wearing fuzzy socks.
    Winter is not my favorite season either, but there are wonderful things that happen during winter, and before long, it is spring.

  11. I'm with you sister, being cold can put me in such a bad place. I always think of the homeless and people without heat when I get cold and then I cannot get warm for the life of me. Happy Thanksgiving, Love Mollye
