SimPle CounTry PleaSures ~~

First keep the peace within yourself,

then you can bring peace to others.
Thomas a Kempis (1380 - 1471)

Love this time of the year.....especially from the cozy

comforts of the cabin.
We are enjoying ............... all the simple joys

and peace of the Christmas Season.
In the evening we sit back and enjoy the small white lights in
our windows, while the wood stove keeps us toasty warm,

and the fire is crackling in the fireplace.

We are Blessed to have a good, and hearty meal

grace our table each night.

There is also lots of baking taking place, so
the smells that fill the cabin are just wonderful.

Sights, Smells, Sounds, delights for all the senses.

I also get much joy from visiting my on-line Friends.

All the Blogs have a Christmas feel, everyone is talking about

their traditions, and sharing photos of their homes, & shops,

all decked out for the Season.

I enjoy reading their recipes, and the tiny bits of

their lives they choose to share with us.
On most Blogs .....

You can read and feel the smile in their words.

Its also a time to hear from treasured Friends and Relatives

that are parted by miles.....you get a sweet card, or

an updated news letter (I for one love receiving them)

and sometimes its a special phone call.

As the song said ......

"Don't Save it All for Christmas" .
Please Remember to reach out and touch someone,
A Smile can convey Warmth,

A nice Word can touch a Heart,

&

A Hug is a Wonderful Gift.

Very little is needed to make a happy life ~~
Marcus Aurelius Antoninus (121 AD - 180 AD )



Wishing you Peace & Simple Country Pleasures
as we prepare for Christmas ~~
