To live a well balanced, rewarding life of our dreams by day and sleep restfully at night.
At the end of the day, I am thankful for these ten comforts…
Published March 4, 2013 | 
So it’s the end of they day and there is not much getting in the way
of my welcoming in the evening.
There are so many things I appreciate about this time of day.
Right now, at 7:19 PM, I appreciate:
1. Being home
2. the good work out I had a little while ago at the gym
3. the quiet I am enjoying before I start cooking (tonight it will be a healthy tofu stir fry)
4. the glass of pinot noir I am sipping as I write this.
5. My husband, daughter, and sweet cat who are close by (but leaving me alone so I can write)
6. The comfortable couch I am sitting on
7. My plush green blanket that is on my lap (it is actually a cool night here in North Florida)
8. The view that I have of my eccentric neighbor’s Christmas tree fully lit outside my back patio window across the pond…(why not Christmas in March, right? I laugh and feel full of love when I see those lights come on at night. This neighbor, by the way, will take the tree down in august sometime… ha!lol)
9. The peace that I feel inside knowing I had a good day.
10. My laptop computer here which faithfully works for me…
What comforts are you thankful for this evening? (feel free to comment and share with us…!)
Much love and peace to all of you. Have a lovely night! It is time I get going with my stir fry…

A fall evening is here for you!
The darkness invites lit candles and good smells in the kitchen…
The labor of the day is over and now you can rest.
Music…
Family…
Love.

Evening

Evening,
you are here once more.
Thank you for your arrival.
In times of stress, you comfort me with your dark and silence.
In times of celebration you delight me with your lights and time with loved ones.
Evening, thank you for being there. Without you I would not have this space of rest from my hectic work life and I
would not have this time to recharge.
When day is done, and clouds are low, And flowers are honey-dew, And Hesper’s lamp begins to glow Along the western blue; And homeward wing the turtle-doves, Then comes the hour the poet loves. ~ George Croly
What will you do with this gift? This evening?
A blessed night to all,
Debra

Published May 24, 2011 | 
Heavy are my eyelids
Fatigued is my body
I am tired but in a good way.
I worked hard and gave the day
my all.
Now the evening has come
to sweep and nestle me away from
the travails of the day
and cocoon me into
a quiet,
soft,
dark,
and peaceful
space
where dreams float in and
cares sail out-
and body and mind recharge
effortlessly.
When the morning comes, I
know I will awaken
with fresh eyes and
a rested body-
Ready to give the world my best
once again.

Thankful for the Soft, gentle, and warm glow that this evening brings

Simple pleasures are so sweet.
In a busy world by day
it is nice to come home to a space of peace, love,
and nourishment.
The fatigue of the day is washed away and released away
for good.
Now is the time for simple pleasures of good food and family
and evening strolls in the Spring air.
Soft faces that are accepting of the relief that this blessed evening brings.
Soft light, gentle energy.
Warm.
Glowing inside and out.
Thank you.

If you ever question yourself, know you are enough!
If you had a tiring day, kick back tonight and enjoy the evening.
If you accomplished a task or goal, celebrate your success!
Smile and think of the wonderful life that you have.
You are blessed. You are a blessing as well.
