How I remember sleepless nights
When we would read by candlelight,
And on the windowpane outside
A new world made of snow;

A million feathers falling down,
A million stars that touch the ground,
So many secrets to be found
Amid the falling snow.
~Enya

I have been sitting indoors watching the snow fall over the last few days, the lyrics for this song running through my head. Last night I lit some candles, opened a wonderful bottle of red wine and watched some very delicate little snow flakes dance outside my window. A soft white blanket wrapped around me, the red wine warming my body as I drank it and the flickering of many candles provided the perfect backdrop to the winter landscape that has begun to form outside my window.
I think it's important to take time to relax, unwind and enjoy the world that surrounds us, taking pleasure in such little things as the warmth of the candlelight to the way the wind suddenly changes direction and sends the snow in a massive flurry upwards before continuing it's journey downward to blanket the streets around me.
That's todays little pleasure and what has provided such passion and warmth for me on this cold grey winter day. I am looking forward to repeating my night.

What pleasures will your day bring?
