This week's word came to mind as I sat on the couch in my jammies with a hot cuppa in hand, eating a small bowl of strawberry ice cream. QUIETUDE. Ahhh, yes. These are the things that make me feel at peace inside...
- PERFECT hot cuppas (and even shared ones!)
- Candlelit rooms
- Being wrapped up in soft throw blankets
- Cuddling the puppy
- Clutching a hot water bottle when cold
- My fuzzy rainbow coloured knee socks
- The smell of old books
- My favourite burgundy sweats
- Buried under a pile of quilts to sleep
- The soft ticking of a grandfather clock
- Praying
What things make you feel at peace in your cozy world over yonder?
