I love these cozy, rainy day moments we get in Winter. Time for fluffy slippers, comfy clothes and fluffy blankets to snuggle your self within. July here in Winter in Southern hemisphere, pretty cold and rainy month too, but I love it with my heart and soul. Nothing is better than cold and wet weather days, days to lose one’s self in a book or really old movie, Just to simply embrace the season deeply and with so much joy as well. Staying indoors and just watching it from a picture window is the ticket too, observing the sky and garden, watching the clouds jet across the sky, or watch the rain silently fall on the paved path outside my window. It all feels surreal to me, has me smile in the simple joys of life and it’s often defined seasons. Maybe it is the writer and artist in me as well that likes to look at life and natural world with a slightly whimsy lens.

Falling rain and a book in your hand, Just represent the perfect day to me, nothing could be better, if only the time to just stop and enjoy it, for what it truly is, a gift of life to feel all so blessed about, not make it something else, nor put it all over social media, to just keep it selfishly to one’s self. A room with a view even if fleetingly, is still one to take advantage of and just stop and look upon. Winter gives me that time to just stop, to not want to rush about like I often do most of the time in my life and in the world. I simply exist, not live and that is no life at all, it is so empty and so senseless too.

I have fallen head over heels in love with reading again, it occupies my time, my thoughts and waking moments indeed. I have always read, but often in my latter life it gets swept under the carpet, because of other pressing issues, work and family. However now I make time, because I love the stories I read as well as the more stories created within my head. Creativity grows with the new and beautiful words I find within my reading, new words keep me magically in touch with the writer in me. The artist forms pictures with the words and ideas that come to me.

Winter is definitely the time to retire and create a world within a world. Cozy Winter days means time to stop as the season does and just live a little bit simpler and just breathe not rush through it all.

Adieu for now Kitty-Kat xox And hope you have a great day xox
