A Day of Loveliness
If you were to give
yourself a Day of Loveliness,
what would you
include?
I would begin, by
walking in the garden with a lovely cup of coffee with cream. The soft – cool breezes,
the song of the birds lift my spirits – I give thanks to God.
I love the indulgence
of a bubble bath. There’s nothing more serene than to spend a few moments, soft
music in the background, beeswax candles giving the only light –
serene moments to
contemplate those things that are lovely.
I love to bring
flowers into my home – to meld the beauty of the garden with the atmosphere of
the home. Whether I pick flowers from the garden or bring them home from the
market – flowers in the room add a sense of loveliness and joy.
I would visit friends
or family – to enjoy a lovely lunch, convivial conversation and a lot of
laughter.
I would enjoy a
lovely cup of tea in the afternoon with a good book. I have been blessed by
another intriguing book from Laura Childs, Scones and Bones. I have enjoyed
spending time with the wonderful characters she’s created.
I would treasure the
moments I spend sharing thoughts, events and memories with my husband in the
evening.
I would begin and end
my day thanking God for his many blessings and wonder in awe of His love to us
all.
