Cozy Corners
Quite honestly, this was the only interesting source of light around me when I had a little panic this evening after realizing that I had quite forgotten about the assignment this week. But the more I looked at the cozy corner that this light makes in my room, the more I enjoyed it. Since I don't like over-head lights, I tend to gravitate towards the lamp-lit corners in my room. Besides creating a pool of cozy warmth, they are the center of activity, the place where I can see what needs to be done. In the evening, this lamp in particular illumines, above it, my bulletin board on one side with its collection of photos and thoughts and a favorite ballet photo on the other side. Below, it sheds light on the job of the evening, always in an encouraging sort of way. It is nice to have a chance to appreciate the little things that make up one's every-day life!

Nice image and thoughts - I really like the idea of the light being "the center of activity," and the thing that gives energy
ReplyDeletePlease remember to put the week # in the subject line - thanks!
This light is so inviting! It makes me think of cozying up to read a book on a big comfy couch.
ReplyDeleteThis post and the one by Colleen are making me look at the lamps in my apartment. Much less interesting in the shapes and color they create than yours.
ReplyDeleteAll of the posts with lamps make me just want to curl up and read a book : ). Loved reading your description.
