I think this is so neat. I saw it on a blog that I accidentally found yesterday. I can't remember which blog it was now, but I thought it looked so tranquil. Just a quiet supper in a rustic setting. Just you and your candle. And maybe a book too. I even went out at lunch yesterday to Walmart and bought a small crystal candle holder and a white candle similar to this one with the intention of lighting it at every meal. Usually I eat at the dining room table and read a book while Eddie eats in his recliner and watches TV. When we do both eat at the dining room table, he always lights a bigger candle that we have in the center of the table. I could light it too, but somehow the single white candle seems so ceremonial somehow. Kind of like, this is my time for eating, reflecting and reading and just time to be quiet for a little while. Sort of like taking a bubble bath without the bubble bath.
I wish I could light a candle at work in my office during lunch, but they won't let us because it's a fire hazard. Sort of kills the mood.
