The wind is whipping through the trees and scattering leaves across the back yard. The dogs chase the leaves and a few brave birds who dare to find a few nuts and seeds in the feeders. The nip in the air mixed with the warmth of the sun confirm it is finally Fall. As I pour my second cup of hot tea, I feel the weight of the morning leave and my heart settles in. School is back in session; sports in full swing. We are all settling into our daily and weekly routines.
There is always the excitement of new beginnings...new people to meet, new skills to learn, new places to explore. But what I have learned to treasure is the settling in. When the newness wears off and the routines are set, there is comfort. There is home. There is peace. That even in the midst of all the craziness and messiness of life, we all need a place to refresh and restore our minds, our bodies, our souls.
So, you may be saying, "Yeah, right! That sounds great, but what does it look like in real life? How do I get to that place?" We're hopeful that this blog will become a sort of reference for how to live your life intentionally and by doing so, create a haven for you and those you love. There will be a mixed bag of posts, everything from home maintenance and improvement to self-care and simple Home Skills 101, but all relating to ways you can take a deep breath and really begin to enjoy this life and not merely pass by at the speed of light.
So, sit back, settle in, and savor today.
