The First Week

I know my blog is "The Life You Love," but today, it should probably be called "Catch-up with Your Life."

I am sitting at home with my to do list (it's a mile long) and a headache wondering if it would be an awful thing at 10:17am to go back to bed. I have folded laundry all over my living room, pups who want to go for a walk, and many promotional projects for the Black-Eyed Press to launch. Yet my favorite corner of our tiny livingroom seems to be appealing to the closet couch potato in me.

It reminds me of the fact that our little home is a sanctuary. Somedays, it is just drudgery to make myself leave, because we've carved out a little piece of cozy for ourselves here in Mount Pleasant. The sunshine streaming into the window feels so very good against my face. I wonder if most people feel this way about their homes. I realize our little condo isn't glamourous, but it reflects little bits my family....organized enough to find most things, clean enough to be lived in, and lived in enough to be comfortable. No rooms are off limits in our 850 square feet of "kick off your shoes and stay awhile."

I hope today you have a few minutes to cuddle up in your favorite spot and to reflect on all the amazing things in your life. I know that I am blessed beyond my wildest imagination. I think I will sit here for a few minutes and just enjoy my spot in this mid-morning calm.
