fire

i don't know what it is about a fireplace. i'm over at my wonderful mother-in-laws house right now and seeing that it was 27 degrees at about 2:30pm today i figured i would start a fire when i got over here for dinner. there is nothing more soothing to me than starting a fire and keeping it kindled. it's just very calming to my spirit. everyone has certain things in their lives that are therapeutic to them. a couple of mine are writing, playing golf, and starting and tending a fire in a fireplace. find out what those things are in your life, and try to do them as often as possible. sometimes we all just need some time to unwind.
