Private Hours Of Our Lives

Makings the things we do everyday as beautiful and pleasurable as we can is a true way to live a happier life. Yet so many don't do this, instead they scowl and rant about what they don't have and so concerned about what other's do have. Yesterday I post on how happy I am at home. Home happiness is a result of ambition and a place where labor ends. When taking care of our needs, lovingly it becomes life enhancing, making us able to do more with the rest of our time... instead of rushing through our lives to get some where. You will not be able to appreciate what we have until we can improve and reinforce good habits for living. Rituals of life. Taking time for the ritual of bathing in a delicious bathing gel with a good book is one of my favorite times of the day. I love having morning coffee for the first hour ... When I was going off to work every morning I still would allow this time by getting u a hour earlier... I believe you have to organize life to allow yourself this and not always blame it on circumstances. Dining should also be a important and relaxing and sharing time ... This can be a special time of sharing and connecting with other family member ..... I think it is important to sit as a family... not one in front of the TV ... Maybe a suggestion for this time is one family member or {possible two} preparing food and the other does the dishes and cleanup for the evening... this allowing a extra hour to both parties....It is still the nourishing time our bodies requires.. Why not make it a desired hour of your life... I know Tom and I especially do our best to make this a pleasant time.... You do have to organize however, especially when you are raising a family... I found I would many times try to stay head of the meals... When I would plan on spending a couple hours in the kitchen I may prepare a couple meals ahead such as a kettle of soup on cooking while I was preparing another meal or baking during the time I already was in the kitchen... I know from personal experience you will be much happier if you have some thought and organization and personal time for enjoyment in your life. Much of life is in the details, the larger issues have a way of working themselves out. If we look at the big picture all the time, things can sometimes look grim... The outside world can seem troublesome, sometime dangerous, and for sure uncertain. This is another reason I feel our homes become our personal space of refuge. By controlling the private hours of our lives, a sense of well being can be gained by simplifying and unifying.Our daily and lifetime rituals can tell us who you are... they can keep our spirits up.. Your personality becomes your thumbprint. We think about beauty and pay attention to details and enjoy them because it enriches our life.... Think about the reasonable things you enjoy in life and make time to add them into our everyday routines.....
