our winter of deep rest

This winter was unlike all others. With my husband having spent the majority of 2011 working away from home, we were long overdue for focused time together. Instead of chasing winter work we decided to devote the coldest months to each other, shelving concerns of financial gain in favor of nurturing our relationship. This required living simply, with most of our days spent at home.

It was glorious. Totally immersed in ourselves and each other, we read, talked, laughed, loved, listened, and . . . perfected the sublime art of napping.
