It. was. nice.
But I'm back now, and hope to be able to post 3-5 times each week for the remaining weeks of October. I'll start out with a quick Stream of Consciousness Sunday.
Today’s (totally optional) prompt: What makes you feel cozy and safe?
**********************
A hot beverage. A warm blanket. A good movie. Or maybe a good book.
Definitely some snuggle time with my guy (Jeff) and my girl (my pup, Sallie).
Oh, yes! And soup. Definitely soup from the crockpot. Throw in some freshly baked bread. Mmmm...
Why does cozy and safe equate to fall and/or winter? Don't I feel cozy and safe in the spring and/or summer?
I do, but it's a different kind of safe, I guess. I more like freedom and exploring and trying new things. Fall and winter means coming back to a safe place. Recuperating until spring comes around again to try and explore and escape. Weird. I never really thought of it that way before at all.
I've always been a girl who enjoys all 4 seasons. Growing up in MN, there were 4 very distinct, almost picturesque, seasons. I loved them all, but as I've gotten older, I've really come to love and embrace fall. Spring was my fave growing up, of course.
Never been a huge fan of winter, though. Hence the move away from the cold MN to the warm weather of the Vegas desert.

I totally feel you with this statement:
ReplyDeleteAfter two months of posting nearly every day (sometimes multiple times a day), I took a full week off. I'm not going to lie.
It. was. nice.
I love my blog but for goodness sake, I get tired of posting all of the time.
Anywho, I enjoyed reading your cozy and warm and wanted to share a popsicle in the summer is all the cozy I need!
-r
I think every blogger needs a break now and again.
DeleteOh, yes! A popsicle on a summer day. Perfect for making summer seem cozy and safe.
I think it is weird that we tend to associate cozy comfort with cooler weather, too.
ReplyDeleteBut there are a lot of things that we do in those cooler temps that feel good and make us feel a metaphorical hug that makes life cozy.
Yes! Just like a metaphorical hug. Perfect.
DeleteSoup always brings me comfort and I love when the weather turns cool. It makes perfect soup eating weather.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely! Fall/Winter definitely makes for perfect soup weather.
DeleteI really enjoy the Fall, too. So much so that I have my home decorated in the rich colors of fall and I never get tired of it. Earthen colors endure. Loved your post; it made me feel all warm and cozy. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteYou're right! Earthen colors do endure. I love deep rich reds and oranges and yellow.
DeleteI have always wanted to live somewhere with four seasons...but I'm still in Florida (mostly melting) for now.
ReplyDeleteI hope it cools off soon for you.
DeleteThat whole first line - beverage, blanket, movie, book - just makes me want to settle right in with a happy sigh. :)
ReplyDeleteYes! Me, too!
DeleteJUST LIKE a metaphorical hug. Yes. ^^^
ReplyDeleteI would LOVE to have 4 seasons. GA has about 2... Hot and Football :)
Hot and football. LOL!!
