Resting at the Estate
Even a simple, humble home can have beauty. I like to call our old house an estate. It brings a touch of elegance to our lives.
I like to walk around the property and just enjoy the scenery. I enjoy sweeping the porch and the stairs. I like to sit at the picnic table and read a book.
Resting, here at home, means moving around slowly and being grateful for what I have. It helps me to take a break from the weekly worries.
Thinking of home as an estate, keeps me calm and sweet-natured. I feel priviledged and content.

May your weekend be relaxing and pleasant. . . And may home life be lovely.
Blessings
