Do you need solitude? Are you happy with your own company? I am. I need quiet, peaceful alone time. More than that, dear ones, I crave it.
The world outside our happy little home moves too fast for me, it's too noisy, too busy, too much. Inside the walls of our home I feel safe. I feel at peace. I can rest.
If I'm having a bad day or the arthritis pain is too much I go upstairs, sit on the bed in our master bedroom and stare at my canvas. That wonderful image does more for me than all of the medication in the world ever could.
I can just sit, concentrate on my breathing, and mentally step inside this canvas, put my hand on the rail and walk down the steps. When I reach the beach, I can take off my shoes and (almost) imagine the sea air on my face, the sound of the waves and the sand between my toes.
If I could, I'd happily live inside this beautiful canvas... with Hubby & our furbaby too of course.💖
I adore my job, I really do. It's my connection to the outside world and for those couple of days a week I can chat, socialise and cope with the busy, noisy world but I only cope because I know that when I finish up my last shift of the week I can come home to our little oasis of calm.
When I step through our front door my shoulders relax, and I feel a profound sense of calm settle over me. Our home wraps itself around me and eases the stresses of the day away. It's my sanctuary from the storm of noise generated by the world.
Where is your sanctuary honeys? What do you do to escape from the world when you need to? Is your sanctuary to be found in your home? in music? In the pages of a wonderful book? In the company of loved ones?
I wish for you your own little oasis of calm, your own precious retreat to calm your senses and feed your soul. Till next time dear ones, sending mountains of gentle hugs your way always xx
