I think most people who read this blog live in the northern hemisphere of this planet we live on. Oh but yes, there is at least one person who subscribes to this blog who lives in Australia, and another who moves to and lives in the Philippines during our cold northern winter months. So maybe there are other people reading here who are also from this planet’s southern hemisphere, or at least equatorial regions of the planet.
In the month of March (as I’m typing this), the southern hemisphere is enjoying the tail end of summer! But we here in northern climes are still enjoying winter’s chilly days and cold, freezing nights.
The other day I found a YouTube video (the one above) of a really nice, cozy fireplace that was burning warmly and peacefully, along with calm and peaceful piano music playing quietly. I’ve shared it here with you, whether you are in summer or in winter.
Besides reading this blog post while you watch and listen to the video, you can play the video while you simply sit and listen and dream … or do exercises, or yoga, or meditation … or read a book … or talk with family and friends with this as background music (some of us can play the website on our TV too, in order to share the visual) … or while listening, you can look through a photo album that has photos of places you’ve been … or look at online photos of places you haven’t been … or you can do plant care in your house … or dance … or pay your bills … or draw or paint … or do woodworking … or cook … or, simply sit and listen.
I listen to this website two or three times a week. Sometimes I just sit and listen. Sometimes I look back through my mother’s print photos of her life, and of her photos of my young life … sometimes I look back through my own digital photos of my life … sometimes I pay bills … sometimes I listen and plan my next fun adventure (camping soon!). And sometimes I play this YouTube video while I’m drafting my next blog post. 🙂
If the heat of the fire doesn’t appeal to you right now, wait for some cool/cold weather. Or find something else online that suits your mood, without the fireplace at all. Maybe views of the country you live in, or the country you came from, with music you love. Or views of a country you’d like to visit, with their music. Or dance music! Or other quiet, contemplative music. Music is so important to me. Peace is too.
Please share this blog post with others who might enjoy it.
May every one of you reading here find peace in your life and in your heart. I surely appreciate every one of you. Blessings … everyone.
