Soothing Light

Over the Christmas break I found myself sleeping a lot: relaxing and recovering. I think the short days and long dark nights tend to make us all feel extra tired.

Now that the holiday is over and I am back to a normal routine, I still find myself very sleepy in the afternoon as the light starts failing. Once I am home it is so easy to sit down with a cup of tea, the curtains closed against the dark and rain, and doze off in the gentle light from the table lamp. I do like the warm light cast by this pleated silk shade.
