When the day is dark, and I feel cold or down, I light a candle in every room.
As the scent fills my house, I remember.
I remember to count my blessings
I remember to pray.
I remember to love the moment.
I remember.
When I pause to gaze at the flickering light, I remember.
I remember to count my blessings
I remember to pray.
I remember to love the moment.
I remember.
When I feel down and the day seems dark, I light a candle, and everything seems a little brighter.
Fight the down days: light a candle and remember.

May 17, 2010 at 9:38 pmOh my gosh! I do this too. I did it a lot in my hard times last year. I’d light candles in my room and sit there watching them, and a lot of the time i’d play music softly too. It is SO relaxing 🙂
Hope you are having a splendid week, Kelly.

May 19, 2010 at 6:24 pmYeah, there is something at watching the flames flicker that is so soothing. And music is awesome.

May 19, 2010 at 6:25 pmScented oil is a wonderful calmer isn’t it. And I love pumping music, on all occasions.

May 18, 2010 at 9:42 pmExcellent idea Kelly! And one I think I need to use at our house. It is so hectic all the time around here, that a tiny bit of peace and calm would be very welcome 🙂
