Picture the Holidays, our prompt was to think of how we recharge, how we practice a bit of self love in this festive but hectic time of year.
Where do you go or what do you do to give yourself a break? Do you unwind with a nice cup of tea or coffee? Do you just take a nap? Read a good book? Wrap up in a favorite quilt?
My first thought was of this place in my home, my living room, with the fire going in the fireplace, morning sun coming in the window, and a bit of Christmas here and there. Home should be a place you want to come to, a safe place where you can hang out in your flannel jammies and sip hot chocolate. And our home is.
I’m so thankful for that.
Make time for this. Recharge. Take a load off, put your feet up. Simply relax. I’ll go put on the coffee…..
The word "peace" on your mantel is a perfect description of your home! It looks so calm and inviting!
Deb,
thanks for the invitation to join you in your lovely home. From this small slice, I can certainly understand why this comes to mind as your place of refuge, of recharge. I, too, love my place on my couch, with the twinkling white lights the only illumination. Ah, peace!
Looks very peaceful indeed. Would love to have a chat by the fire with a cup of tea. Wishing you and your family a wonderful holiday.
How pretty this is, love your PEACE and the photos above your fireplace. This is warm and cozy space to relax and just take in the quiet of it. Thank you for sharing and reminding us to recharge.
Ahh…I can feel the peace & warmth, Deb. So beautiful.
I hope your holiday overflows with all the things you love.

Lovely image and words, I felt my shoulders unknot just reading them!
Such a lovely and relaxing picture, and what peace your fireplace and home exudes. Aren't we blessed to have these "safe places" in our lives. Merry Christmas to you!
