House bound, imprisoned by the weather, flu or ennui?
Take this as an opportunity to embrace cozy,
Transform loneliness into solitude.
Set off on a magic sofa ride
Dress for adventure
in flannel pajamas and fluffy robe
Sink into soft cushions wrap up in warm blankets
let your imagination take you to
far-a-way places with strange-sounding names.
Meet new people, eat exotic food that
will agree with you.
Climb to great heights and explore deepest canyons
and have enough breath to sing
all without pain.
That’s what can happen when you take
a magic sofa ride!

Good advice for winter! I got comfy on my sofa today with a good Kindle novel, a cup of hot apple cider, and cinnamon swirl toast. 🙂

On, I LOVE it… the magic sofa ride! I’ve been happily snuggled into our sofa (and bed ), and enjoying wonderfully insightful books, delightful daydreams and nurturing snuggles into warm blankets and pillows… loving some books that share wisdom from South American indigenous peoples, Sufi masters, Greek philosophers… traveling and taking in the remarkably similar wisdom of the great masters of the world and time… magic sofa indeed! 🙂

All so wonderful! My daughter just came back from visiting Mayan ruins in Mexico. We snuggled on the sofa to see her pictures and hear her stories this weekend.
