Find your special space

If you don't have a special space for yourself take my advice and create one. I sit on my deck in a chair placed right in the middle of two wind chimes. I can see my plants, bird feeders and meditating gnome from my chair. I can also see the back yard and the deer, quail and turkeys that wander through. It is my favorite place. Once the weather turns colder I will create a special space indoors until it warms up again. Please create your own space and share. It doesn't have to be grand. After all mine is just a chair. But it's more than enough.

In the winter I still try to keep my bird feeders filled and watch from my sliding doors or dining room window. I also bring in my gnome and a silly metal pink flamingo. I burn scented candles. Watch the snow fall and rearrange my wall art so I can see it from the couch. I fill colorful fabric bins with warm throws too. My space may be smaller but I surround myself with color and smiles.

Hi Mrs P, 💜

Just moved, so I now have a second story 200+ ft wide deck over looking forestry. Ive got a creek and tons of wildlife, I feel like Tarzan out here. 😁

In the winter, I’ll have a better view once the leaves fall. I’ve got tons of ceiling to floor windows. Winter will be different here for sure. 😊

Sounds beautiful! And since I have undeveloped land behind my house I know you'll see lots of things. In the winter the deer come closer to my house. I stand at the sliding glass door and talk to them. I swear they listen because they look right at me. One winter we had a deer that showed up every morning while my children ate breakfast before school. They loved it and called it "their deer". Such joy to start the day.
