Quiet Moments

Give yourself permission to slow down,
if only for an afternoon.
After the hectic rush of the holiday season,
we should all pamper ourselves.....
Slow down...stop moving...
Take a scented bath by candle light,
put on those new flannels
and that, oh so soft, old cashmere sweater.
Put your new fuzzy socks on those well-pampered,
soaked,scrubbed, rubbed and lotioned feet...
Curl them up under you,
as you sip your spiced tea
while reading your new books that were Christmas gifts.
Snuggle deep into your favorite chair
with a soft throw.
We have a stack of new books
and I cannot wait to read them all.
"Seaside Style"
"The Last Godfather"
"Now You're Cookin' Tuscany"
"The Sharper Your Knife,The Less You Cry"...a cooking book in Paris!
and,
"Mrs. Wolf amd the Servants"....life with the Bloomsbury Bohemian Artsy folks.

Happy Pampering!
Blessings

I just finished The Sharper The Knife--very good. Made me go out and take a cooking class, but only for one day.

Well, I LOVE books that inspire and Linda, if it caused you to take a cooking class, I just know it's going to be GREAT! Thank you for stopping by my lil' place beneath a Southern sky.
