Winter can be such a serene season. Trees are withered, sky’s often bleak, but you’ll have the occasion to light the fire and feel warm in your heart and soul. Especially when it snows and you have no where to go.  Sitting next to the fireplace , gazing into the bluish smoke and you feel it’s not that bad to be solitary. Add a glass of wine, some good music, an old comfort book - let the mind wander and it is almost heaven.
