It’s all too easy, sometimes, to get caught up in all the mad, sad, bad things that happen in the world. Every once in a while, it’s important to sit back, relax, and enjoy the good things. So tonight I offer you this suggestion:
Find a fireplace (or a WoodWick candle, if the former is difficult). Make yourself a cup of tea or hot chocolate or something else hot, with maybe just a hint of alcohol. Find a way to lure your cat or dog to where you’ll be sitting. Leave your web browser open to RainyMood, if it isn’t raining, and play some jazz in iTunes. Then turn off the screen and sit in the most comfortable chair you can find with something to read.
Drink your hot chocolate. Pet your cat or dog. Listen to the sound of the fire inside and the rain outside. Read. Let the world look after itself for a while.
You deserve it.
