every one of my followers gets a little bowl of soup from the pot bubbling in the middle of my blog and a slice of bread with homemade butter on the side
Happy holidays to everyone whose holiday isn’t what they want it to be. whether it is illness, poverty, distance from loved ones or something else that’s making things tough for you this year, i hope that you can find peace and warmth. i hope that your year will end and start on a brighter note
merry christmas to everyone who’s spending it alone and/or is going through a really tough time. i hope you have a wonderful day today and tomorrow and that next year is good to you 💖
Love doesn't just sit there, like a stone, it has to be made, like bread; remade all the time, made new.
