Like your shares. I do love soft lights too, but we have no fireplaces=). Simple hot cocoa, not the commercial ones sold here, for we have some locally made, slightly creamy (w/o additives i must say) but reminds me of childhood days.
The time i remember going to the Manila zoo was on a trip in kinder i think, and not again. I just make do and be content w/ the wildlife around, you know, birds, butterflies, other insects like ladybugs and grasshoppers! For 2 nights, i saw a firefly inside the house too. And another simple pleasure is listening to soft music like As the deer or this [video=youtube;MiFUK2PcS0c]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MiFUK2PcS0c[/video]
or playing them myself. It would be great if there were people to sing/play them with as in church practice, but people are so busy, we only manage on weekends.
