Warm things are nice


Not to long ago I was camped in Mesquite Springs Campground in Death Valley. It was winter, and the temperature dropped to about 20 degrees that night. Before retiring to bed, I took a walk to get some fresh air. Burr! I was so cold! But then I returned to my little motorhome where it was warm. It was such a good feeling to be in such a cozy space when all around me for miles it was freezing cold.

Heat is a very good thing -- a wonderful thing sometimes. Here are some great heat-related experiences:

--Putting on warm socks right out of the dryer on a cold morning.
--Taking a hot bath or shower after being the cold all day.
--Lounging in a warm lounge at a ski resort after a morning of skiing.
--Sitting in front of a campfire on a chilly evening.
--Eating hot, homemade soup on a cold winter afternoon.
--Climbing into a bed heated by an electric blanket.
--Snuggling up with your sweetheart in bed on a cold night.
--Stopping at a cafe for a cup of hot coffee or hot chocolate.

I am sure there are many other good, warm things. Maybe you can leave a comment with a few of your favorites.

  1. One of my favourite childhood memories is going inside after hours of playing in the snow, greeted by hot chocolate with marshmallows and a stack of hot, buttered toast. Yum!
