For me that looks like focusing on my home, what I allow in it, its atmosphere, its comfort and its provisions.
For me that also looks like being less and less involved in the social media world. Yes, I have social media accounts but I’m finding myself logging on less and less and honestly, I don’t feel like I’m missing anything. Right now, I’m operating on a ‘need to know’ philosophy. If I need to know something or someone wants me to look at something, I can log on, do what needs to be done and log off. I know that my choice is not for everyone and that’s okay, it hasn’t always been this way for me either. Maybe it’s because I’m getting older and the further, I can get away from the drama and constant in your face chaos and rage, the better I like it ... the more peace I have.
I can’t fix what’s wrong in the world, honestly at this point, I don’t know that anyone can … but I do have control over my home. My dear hubby works hard and if I can create a ‘safe place’ for him to return to after being out in the world, then I feel like I've contributed to our household quite well.
My goal is to create and maintain a home that's ...
guarded and protected from outside drama and chaos ...
managed frugally
filled with things we need and some of what we want ...
filled with laughter, simple quietness and contentment for the life we've built together ...
a place my hubby looks forward to returning to after being away ...
a place that is family focused ...
It's a pretty BIG job ...
It's a pretty IMPORTANT job ...
It's where CHANGE starts ...
I've worked really hard to create the kind of home we have and I'm focusing on 'circling the wagons' to maintain it.
Any thoughts?
Until the next post ...
