Cozy Homes

I went to bed the other night with that annoying little scratchy sensation at the back of my throat.
You know that feeling.
And right away I decided that I had better be proactive.
Take control of the situation..... My kids would be laughing reading that line...they know only too well what that looks like.

I decided to get myself into cocoon-mode,
snuggle in with hot tea and blankets.

It got me to thinking about the various layers in our home that really define "cozy" for me.
I think that may be the benefit of creating those so-called layers.

It is... simply put... all those little items or collections or memorabilia
that provide you with a sense of comfort, allow you to relax and recharge.

 I also got to wondering where people that live in very minimalist modern homes go
when they feel sick and need to hunker down to do battle with a cold.

It really is quite personal in the end....
the layers that is.
And perhaps not everybody needs that?

But for me it provides a sense of warmth,
a chance to reflect on life,
and an opportunity to pool my resources and recharge!

Now, don't get me wrong.
I can stare at photos of crisp, clean, sparsely decorated rooms and love them.... really.
But when I am sick, I need some "stuff".

Where do you go when you are not feeling well?
