I often say that home should be a place of respite.
A place to escape the busyness of life.
A haven.
Somehow when I have a little corner, a space, tidied and a sprig of nature to add a bit of colour, I feel a bit more motivated, a bit calmer and more focused.
I really feel that carving out little pockets of time to create little spaces like this are so important: to balance the noise and sometimes chaos that family life brings. A retreat that is in amongst the ones we love.
It might be a chair, with a cuppa and a book.
It might be a space free of toys to do your work.
It might be the lighting of a candle when your kitchen is cleared for the night.
Whatever it is, acknowledge it for what it is…a little bit of restoration for the soul. A slowness that helps us stop and take stock.
A moment; savoured, enjoyed.
A moment; savoured, enjoyed.
You couldn't describe it better… We need a corner for us, especially now that days get too long and frozen.
