Sometimes I look out the window of this Florida home and see something that looks more like the northeast on a cold and overcast winter day. Imagining that it's colder outside than it usually is, I feel safe, warm, and cozy inside. On these days, mopping, dusting, laundering, and other duties feel more like nesting, and I begin to enjoy the chores as both a meditation and a means to an end: the sense of calm and order that are allowed by a tidy house on a day when I have no where else to be other than home with my family. And if there's time for L. and I to squeeze in a movie on dvd while V. is sleeping, well, that's cozy indeed!
