The fire is crackling in the hearth and I can feel the comforting warmth on my face. Outside the storm is raging and blowing, angry that it cannot breach the walls of the house to get at me with its cold fingers to chill me to the bone. Beside me on the sofa, the dog sighs contentedly in a deep sleep. He dreams of chasing cats and finding bones. He also basks in the heat of fire.
At my side, a book lies open, waiting to tempt me back to a world of impossible adventures and rainbows! I pull the blanket around my shoulders and breathe in the scent of the candle that flickers its shadow on the wall, dancing and teasing different shapes, filling the room with smells that transport me to sunnier climates and crashing waves on a beach.
I look around the room at my children. They are such perfect and wonderful children that my heart swells with love. I never imagined a love as strong as this. My wonderful husband comes into the room bearing gifts - a cup of tea and a chocolate biscuit! A look of love from him and I know that my life is truly blessed! This is my perfect rainy day!
