Taking It Easy

  I hardly ever get sick, but for the past week I've had a bug that I just couldn't shake.  So annoying!  Today I'm still not 100%  (more like 60%), but at least I have more energy today.  I have had some positives during my "down time" so it's not all bad.  I had time to read (which I seem to never have time for), organize photos into albums, catch up on some movies I've never seen such as "White Oleander", "The blind side", "Julia & Julia" just to name a few. 
  During the days I've had our 2 pugs Lacy & Lilly constantly at my side.  At night, I've had my husband/nurse taking care of me.  I slept through dinner one night (wasn't hungry anyway!), and when i woke up, my husband/nurse led me down the hall to a candle lit bathroom with soft classical music playing and a hot bubble bath waiting for me!  I was also given the best back massage while soaking in the tub!  So soothing!  I could have stayed in that moment forever.  The moment will be in my mind and heart forever though.
  In the next day or two, I'm hoping for more positives and less feeling "yucky".  Keeping my fingers crossed.

Coziness

  I hear the cold wind blowing outside, we are actually under a "frost warning" tonight.  A frost warning in late April of all things!
  It's freezing outside, but it's warm and cozy inside.  When my husband came home from work tonight, we were both exhausted (he from work and I from working at banishing the clutter in our basement).   Cooking dinner was not an option for me tonight.  So pizza it was!
  After pizza, we started to unwind in our family room.  I gathered several candles and placed them in various spots in the family room turned off the lights and lit the candles.  We did have the T.V. on but it was still dark enough for the candles to give the room that nice warm, cozy glow!  I love how candles can give a space a warm and intimate feeling, and how relaxing, soothing they are!
  The cold wind whipping around outside and the candles flickering all around the room really added up to one very cozy night!
