Snug

Well, the horrible winter storm that everyone has been talking about is so far just some rain, and not freezing rain at that. We'll see what it looks like tomorrow. Mom says they've had sleet and snow up in Jackson.

Regardless of what it does, we will be fine. We've got food and sterno to heat it, half a tank of gasoline to take us wherever we need to go, and some cash. We even have a battery-powered lamp and a TV-radio dealie.

So we are snug and safe. I am trying to enjoy the feeling. I want so much to just feel cozy for a while. I want to feel cuddled and coddled and warm, surrounded by peace and plenty. I'd like to feel contentment and security. There's no reason on earth for me to not have those feelings, and plenty of reasons to have them. So I am going to consciously try to foster those feelings inside myself. I want to create a mood of gratitude and satisfaction.

So that is my deal tonight.

  2. I really,really,really like being snug and cosy inside when the weather is harsh outside. When I was a kid and there was a harsh weather prediction my mom always made sure we had milk & cocoa mix and bread. I couldn't even guess how many evenings I spent in front of the window drinking hot cocoa & eating toast and watching it snow. Being warm and snug and content is one of the best things ever.
