Respite

Home, wherever that may be.

There are few places in the day to day, hustle and bustle where we can truly stop to rest, to think, to listen.  In tough economic times, when all the rage seems to be “stay-cation”, finding peaceful respite at home can be difficult.  The TV always seems to be on.  The seductive lure of the internet is always close by.  Chores are never ending and the phone persists in ringing. 

At home, the indoors is never quite as soothing as being outside.  When the sun is warm, the quiet rustle of leaves in the breeze beckons us to enjoy the stillness that is right outside.  Whether it’s a porch swing on a summer’s evening, a patio chair on the terrace overlooking the city, or a leisurely stroll through a neighborhood park, we all need a quiet place to rest, to close out the rest of the world and simply be.   Seek out those places in these uncertain times and enjoy the beauty of a bird soaring overhead, a flower slowly opening, the sun shining down on your face.
