Weather and Rough Days

So...where I live, it's cold, rainy, sometimes very stormy with torrential rains and very high winds. I do so love it. I love the weather. Although I have to make my way inland tomorrow and that means I have to drive over a small mountain pass, forest-like roadways and near flooding waters. But so far, the news reports the road I need to take is clear. Bad news is ( if your driving in it), there is another big storm that's going to hit tonight.
I do love hearing the wind blowing against my window and the rains hitting hard as it flies sideways from the velocity of the wind. It's kind of soothing for me while in my bed. Lulling me slowly to sleep, like a sort of "white noise" but in the more nature type sense. That was a mouthful~
I had a very long day today, as many of you can relate too. Nothing is better than to be able to come home and make some homemade soup to snuggle down with. I usually sit on my couch and hug the bowl with my hands; after I've changed into something soft and comfortable.
It's ultra nice to wrap a soft warm blanket around my shoulders and lap while indulging in the soothing warmth of my organic soup as it slides down my throat. Having the room bathed in a warm soft lighting with my Christmas tree lights on...I can sit and just let the day drip out of my brain. If you are noticing that I'm using the word "warm" a lot...that's because there is no other way of explaining just the right sensation other than calling it warm~
It's a very wonderful word indeed for this time of year. I hope your staying warm and safe. I hope you fill your body with less processed food and take time out in the kitchen by yourself or with a loved one and fix something nutritious and yummy. Keep it simple and fun.
Now go snuggle under a favorite  ( must be soft to get the best feeling) blanket and read a good book, watch a sweet, or funny movie, whatever puts a smile on your lips and a song in your heart and wash the day away if need be.....
The point is, be comfy- comfy- comfy! RELAX~

 
Peace on Earth, Good will toward men (all humans!)

Portland, Oregon in the Holiday Seasons

While sitting behind a computer part of the day, working, getting eye strain and wanting to be finished...my mind wandered to the stormy we...
