I have a friend who lights a candle whenever she wants to help herself feel happy, peaceful, and content. Another person lights a candle when she sits down to write as a device to trigger her focus on that task. One of our sons especially likes to have candles at dinner.
I don’t like to burn candles when the temperatures are high, but now that Autumn is in full swing I can enjoy them again. Today I lit a candle and placed it near the keyboard when I began working on an article. I found myself gazing at the flame when I was thinking of what I wanted to write next, and I found the light scent soothing.
What small pleasures make your day fabulous?
