{Breakfast by candlelight, in the summer? Whyevernot?}
I’ve taken to walking a few mornings a week. I don’t really love it… mostly because it cuts down on my coffee time. The only thing that gets me going is the thought of what awaits when I return home … breakfast of scrambled eggs and fresh veggies, rosemary bread with a slice of cheese, fresh fruit … cooled glasses of milk and juice … candle light …
At this point some of you may be wondering what’s worse–the fact that I bribe myself to exercise with food, or that I light candles in broad daylight!
But I’m a firm believer in enjoying life’s simple pleasures.
And that’s what I wish for you, dear readers. We’ll be celebrating Labor Day (or Labour Day, as the case may be) in the US and Canada. And that means a long weekend! But be your weekend long or short, I pray you’ll get the most of each moment–savor your food, use the good china … and yes, light the candles morning, noon, and night …

couldn´t agree with you more. You Have to have that treat waiting for you, to make yourself go. I do that when I take Micah to preschool (30 min there and back) I think about my coffee AND, my lit candle;) I can´t wait to share a delicous breakfast like that with you! (I´ll even go on the walk with you) !
I am off to light the candles right this moment!
I love the way you treasure simple pleasures. Me too, me too. I wish I had the gumption to get up and walk in the morning. I'm sure I would love it once I finally dragged myself out of bed. I do love my sleep, you know.
I hear ya–sleep and coffee … SO much more enjoyable in the mornings. The trick (for me) is having someone to go with. Although, it reinforces my belief I could never have a personal trainer … I'm afraid I'd be forced to slip something in his energy drink just to get him off my back!
