It's Ever So Cozy Inside!

1. After a wintery walk in the snow it’s ever so COZY inside! It doesn't matter which places you go or if it is just for a ride. Parties are pleasant with pastries and treats and the friends you are so glad to know. Whether you're dancin g or sitting in seats confirsation can eaasily flow. doesn’t matter which places you go or if it is just for a ride. Parties are pleasant with pastries and treats and the friends you are so glad to know. Whether you’re dancing or sitting in seats conversation can easily flow. 

2. All of the seasons bring fun things to do but I think that the happiest time, is when the festivities are finally through and you’re home where it’s cozy inside. FIRES in winter can be so relaxing when it is a cold wintry day. And after a day that was taxing you'll find it will warm all your troubles away! 

3. During the autumn the leaves are all changing their colors to red orange and gold. But once they have fallen they soon begin fading from shades that were brighter and bold. Autumn’s a time to be skipping and romping in crackling leaves on the ground, or drinking hot COCOA right after a hayride with colorful leaves floating down. 

4. The weather is changing becoming much cooler a time to begin dressing warm, but that cannot lessen the beauty of autumn that brings us its magic and CHARM. Whether it’s spring summer winter or autumn we should never have a regret, but draw on the source of each mystery contained and their glory not ever forget. 

5. Enjoy all the seasons and wonders of nature and happily with them abide, but cherish the thought that for every creature it’s ever so cozy INSIDE!

A Winter Wonderland

1. One of the most treasured things that one could ever see, is a winter WONDERLAND depicted magically. Let me paint a picture of one that I hold most dear, especially when the holidays or wintertime draws near. 

2. A snowy country road as horse drawn carriage passes by a beautiful Victorian HOME beneath tall trees and sky. Its roof of many peaks artistically covered with snow, fluffily gives way to crystal icicles below. 

3. Lamps radiantly shining through the long windows so clear, are warm and so inviting to the NEIGHBORS who draw near. A cozy railed porch stirs thoughts of weather warm and fair, while comfortably relaxing in a quaint white wicker chair. 

4. Right across the snowy road the steeple of the church, points to a subtle pastel sky at the onset of dusk. Down a hill some scattered homes are all sprinkled with snow, as they snuggle warm and cozily in evening’s glow. What is more appealing that an evening can impart, than MEALS cooking, pastries baking and fire in the hearth. 

5. Problems wisely left out on the doorstep always bring, freedom and contentment like a lovely breath of spring. Inside the village homes resides a joy beyond compare, for all of those returning know that LOVE is waiting there!

2. Sitting around antique tables on their matching chairs, is elegantly charming pleasing all those gathered there. Imagine dainty SANDWICHES delightful to the eyes, With chicken ham cucumber cheese salmon egg and chives. 

3. Fancy linen napkins both so colorful and quaint, add the perfect touch while the anticipators wait. When all is ready to begin aromas fill the room, as steaming TEA carefully poured sounds like a rippling tune. 

4. The vivid shades of painted flowers on cups saucers and plates, a rich old fashioned European AMBIENCE creates. Entertaining thoughts of years gone by blankets the heart, with fond cherished tradition no one would wish to depart. 

5. As minds all journey back to the magnificent display, of sandwiches and PASTRIES set near elegant bouquet, the guests begin to chat and sip as they gladly agree, that there is nothing that compares to a British High Tea!

A Country Town In Winter

Click on photo to enlarge

1. A country town in winter with snow upon the roofs, and rising chimney smoke from hearth filled fires, paints a charming portrait very deep within our hearts, that richly satisfies our fond desires. Quiet streets at evening as the stars twinkling above, sweetly invite all to go inside, where they will not feel lonely, since the atmosphere is homey, in the cozy warmth where gentlefolk abide 

2. The fast pace of the city can at times seem like a dream, compared it to this most calming country town. The people are more peaceful as they work at slower pace, while at evening you can barely hear a sound. Sitting by the fireside while chatting cozily, SERENITY is more than just a word. It is a way of life that is imbedded deep within and is a quality by which all were allured. 

3. Nighttime brings a slumber that can only be compared, to tranquil thoughts of angels hovering round. With their wings unfolded they are lovingly aware, that in their presence HAPPINESS is found. 

4. When the morning once again rides in upon the dawn, those who sleep are gently wakened by its smile. As pale tints of sunlight now begin to filter in, through the curtains, shades, and every window blind. Flickering on eyelids the enchanting morning sun, arouses those awakened to arise. UNHURRIEDLY and prayerful they all lift their hearts toward heaven, very confident in each new day's surprise. 

5. Let this small town teach you that the SIMPLE things in life, were meant to be the greatest of them all. God showers all His blessings like your family friends and nature just as plentiful as snowflakes gently fall!

A Prescription To Relax!

1. I saw a movie once about a doctor I admired. He was endowed with WISDOM and considering to retire. His many patients were so very grateful for his help, valuing his skill and insight even more than wealth. He always seemed to know the right advice and medicine, for both the elderly and all the young women and men. 

2. It was such a pleasure just to visit him by day. He seemed more like an uncle than a doctor I would say. Living in his homey town since he was just a child, he had a witty sense of HUMOR and easily smiled. His laugh was very hearty putting everyone at ease, then when at work or during leisure was easy to please. 

3. The thing that people loved and looked so very forward to, was that his office was at HOME in a most charming room! People helped themselves to coffee and his fresh pastries, Contentedly relaxing as they browsed through magazines. Now this brings me to the reason for my little poem, which I wrote while sitting by the fireside at home. One of the doctor’s patients came to him under duress, because she found it difficult to be relieved of stress. 

4. I thought it very humorous what the good doctor said, right after he examined her and sensed her total dread. When handing a prescription to her she was so surprised. A tropical VACATION she had surely not surmised! Reaching out her hand with grateful smile upon her face, she thanked him for his good advice and left at leisurely pace. 

5. And so my friend by now I’m sure you have begun to see, that this could also be wonderful advice for you and me. occasionally you might need a RETREAT away from home, where you can comfortably relax and calmly rest alone. Those times you may not even need a doctor if you write, your very own prescription to relax by day or night!

The Little Snowy Town

1. I saw a picture of a little snowy town one day, I felt was very CHARMING and somewhere I'd like to stay. Cheerful as it was I felt such joy and warmth inside, which made me want to find a town just like it to abide. 

2. In the center was a church with tall steeple of white, and colored stained- I imagined lit at night. One majestic fir tree snuggling up right to the rear, lovingly looked down upon a smaller one quite near. A few INVITING houses very pleasant and serene, added so much color to complete the lovely scene! 

3. Two children on their SLEDS slid down a small snow covered hill, warmly wrapped in snowsuits to prevent a wintry chill. In the distance a few scattered country homes were seen, bordered by a string of stately trees all evergreen. 

4. Smoke rising from chimneys had such warm cozy appeal, that seamed to summon families to return for home cooked meal.  Glancing once again back at the  center of the town, I was pleased to see a cheerful SNOWMAN smiling down! Most appealing were small rolling hills covered with snow, reflecting sunlight warmly as they seemed to gently flow. 

5. I have endeavored ever since to find towns such as this, and every time I do it fills my heart with joy and bliss. I hope that you enjoyed my story and make it apart, of all the little TREASURES you have buried in your heart!
