Sometimes I intentionally take a day to unplug and decompress. Saturday past was one such day. While Xmas was lovely, life is stressful for everyone, and I think we must all be feeling the strain.
Back home I stretched and yawned and made myself a hot chocolate (with just a splash of Carolans Irish liquor) and did some coloring. I gifted myself a can of gourmet chocolate at Xmas, so it was a most delicious cup!
A rather large piece of Naan served as the crust for a great pizza at supper time. And as I ate, I got all hep up because I was going to rewatch "Cold Mountain" that evening (an essential annual event). But I could NOT find my DVD!(I shouldn't have donated all those DVDs to the SPCA before Xmas! Oops!) So, "Forest Gump" did the trick and made me laugh and cry and almost believe that there are more good people in the world than I come into contact with.
Don't forget to take care of yourself, friends.
Chill, breathe and remember, you are worth it!
(Today I went to my local SPCA and bought back my copy of "Cold Mountain"! Yay! )

Blue color suits your complexion.
Glad you got your copy back, at least you know where to look for it. I don't do cold weather walks like you do but yes, it is pretty. Hot chocolate and a long nap are more my speed. Keep warm and keep safe is my motto. I'm thinking Spring here and trying to keep up my spirits.
First time readying you blog and your day sounds perfect! For a brief period in time I had a house all to myself. It was lovely. I woke, had coffee, caught up with my blogging buddies, cleaned, did laundry, did some reading, blogging, writing...and then my mother moved in with me, and now due to COVID my adult son and daughter are back with me and while I love them and want them to be safe and feel welcome in my home I so miss my days of solitude. Now I just get up an hour before everyone else, just to have some time to myself. People tell me that I am going to miss them all when they are gone, I just laugh quietly inside, I know better.
