Sometimes we just need a quiet place to think, to meditate, to rest. Somewhere that stills the soul and opens the heart. In the harried life of day to day living, that can be a chore, inconvenient and left to its own. Until one gets around to making it a priority. Sometimes finding the time is difficult at best and we cheat ourselves out of a Divine Experience, leaving ourselves to wonder what could have been.
Recently, I got my own office space in our home. It’s been kind-of a novel concept. My office has been in our bedroom for the last several years and now having a space that is distinctly my own is a beautiful thing. I’ve come to see how much I’ve been missing out on in my own personal fulfillment.
For me, having a space to rejuvenate is part of what keeps me authentic and true, not only to myself but to my family. Sure, I’ve had moments. Moments of my own, in the bathtub or in the car driving somewhere. But it just isn’t the same as having my “own” space. I am finding myself more relaxed and more in tune with the world around me. Especially as working from home can tend to be a stressful, and lonely, thing.
So, it’s the start of a new week and good things are on the table! I’m refreshed and ready!
So often, we think we don’t have time for those quiet moments and quiet places. But we do need those moments, whether it’s for meditation, rest, a good book or a good laugh. While I can’t always find a peaceful place like the one in the photo at the top of your blog, I also find that my home office (a desk surrounded by a lot of bookshelves) is a very fine haven.

Hi Malcolm!
Nice to see you stop by over here!
Yes, I agree – my home office is one of those havens too. Surrounded by books and music, it’s a beautiful place, indeed.
