Staying calm is my number one priority as of late. Maybe for you too? Relax and be assured that this is a calm space. No ads of any sort, I hope just a dose of loveliness to calm frazzled nerves. I baked bread this morning and worked in the garden. I'm going to be focusing on activities whose main purpose delivers peace and tranquility. I'm not on IG at the moment because it's too much for me these days. Wherever your political preference lies it'll always be ok to pop over here. In fact, I will not publish any comments with any bias whatsoever. So lets celebrate all we have and all we don't have. xo
Agree, especially the celebrating. I’m deliciously celebrating what I have and decided what I don’t have, I don’t need and really don’t want anymore. Linda T
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing and offering your place, just that beautiful picture of your homemade bread makes my soul warm, wishing you the best and hoping you keep sharing :)
ReplyDeleteJust seeing your post brings a feeling of calm. So good to see you.
ReplyDeleteLovely post and delicious looking bread!
ReplyDeleteI thought of you when they closed the 99 cent stores. I got so many great deals from that store and loved it when you posted your finds.
So good to see a post from you, Janet, and thank you for your calm. Your bread looks fabulous. Posts from you are always welcome.
ReplyDeleteGreat post!.I agree 100%!
ReplyDeleteSuch a wonderful surprise to find a post from you today! I have been feeling the same way recently…❤️
ReplyDeleteIt’s great to see any post from you! You’ve been missed.
ReplyDeleteLove everything about this! Peace.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking of you just the other day, wondering how you are. And here you are. Lovely to see this post.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely to see this post from you! The bread looks delicious . Love, Darby
ReplyDeleteSo glad to see your lovely picture and calming words. I have been reading your archived posts, you have so much great content. Would you consider bringing back some of your older posts? I would be interested in your eating and cooking ideas, minimal Christmas decorating (great posts!), and one of my favorites "Will you wear this when you are 70?". Thank you for posting today.
ReplyDeleteDianne, I agree and would love to see such posts.
DeleteTotally, thank you!
ReplyDeleteLove you!
ReplyDeleteJanet, I found your blog very early on when I was going through a midlife reassessment. You have been such an inspiration to me ever since in creating this lovely (but not perfect) life I now lead. It is always good to hear from you. I hope you are well.

This is exactly what I needed today! Love the bread and it looks soooo yummy!
ReplyDeleteSo lovely to see a post from you. Autumn is a good time to focus on calm as nature slows down and goes to sleep.
ReplyDeleteIt's so nice to read this calm and wise post, accompanied by your lovely photo. Thank you for creating this oasis on the internet. I'm glad you "checked in" with us!

So wonderful to see this lovely post from you. I often reread your entire blog because it always brings me a sense of calmness. I love your simple recipes, chic fashion sense, and elegant cozy style. You have been sorely missed!
ReplyDeleteCalm is what I need at the moment. After a lovely long weekend with my daughter in Budapest I came home with a chest infection (thank you coughing man on the shuttle bus) I have had 2 water leaks in my loft, a collapsed ceiling in the back bedroom and now I need a new central heating boiler! Stress levels are high and no-one to bounce off. It helps to write it all down. It's times like this when widowhood really hits you where it hurts. It will get better and I will return to the fought for contentment. And breathe.
ReplyDeleteYou just described this whole year for me! Whatever could go wrong went wrong with this house. Major stuff, lots of money and hard work and doing it alone and as you say no one to bounce it off of is so hard - but i made it. And I know you will too. xo
DeleteThank you.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the peace
ReplyDeleteJanet it would still really be nice to see your idea for money saving cost tips
ReplyDeleteI echo all the great comments above ... so good to see your post. I've referred to my calm as "protecting my peace."

Thank you, you always seem to hit it spot on.
ReplyDeleteThanks Janet for posting this...need some positivity after this last week. I'm with you on instagram, not really in the mood these days. Taking a (long) break from the news too. Nice to see you are doing okay.
ReplyDeleteLinda S.
Thank you for a perfect post on a day I needed it. I often come here and look back over previous posts if I’m needing a dose of instant calm. Looking at your beautiful kitchen did it for me today.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this lovely post. Please post more often you always have a golden nugget to share.
ReplyDeleteIt always makes me smile when I see that you have posted! Will you please share your house when you have added your Holiday touches? You are always inspiring. ❤️
ReplyDeleteJust happy to see a post from you. Wishing you peace and calm too.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy your posts no matter if here or on instagram.
ReplyDeleteSo happy to open to your blog site and see your post. You have been missed...
