I noticed that this year I was more intentional with my Christmas decor, especially with my tree. It took me at least 4 days to finish the tree and consequently, my tree looked the best it ever has, coordinated and beautiful. I also added less over the top decor. O used some prim dolls in my office and one or two Santas, bottle brush trees. Overall, less than 1/3 of my “stuff”. Less to put away, too. And it felt great!

Before the Pandemic, it seemed like the world was spinning out of control. Slowing down has been a welcome pleasure of reconnection. Although unsettling, these uncertain times have helped us discover the Simple joys in life, self-reflection, and healing. Loved your post.

I read in bed every night. i enjoy historical fiction. i was a newspaper copy editor with a husband and 3 boys in the ’70s and ’80s. I didn’t get to read in bed and I didn’t have time to tend to plants or flowers. the only time I had to myself was my 45-minute commute each way to work. now, in retirement, i’ve struggled because of the expectations of, “Well, you’re retired now so you can …..” (Someone else’s needs). I moved a twin bed into the den because the husband is a stroke survivor and we have different sleep schedules. my den looks like an attic. and that’s the way i want it–littered with books and walls covered in art. life only gets better if you make it better. life is always a work in
progress. (I’m a hoosier gal living in florida, not by choice.)

Love, Love,Love this post. This is my goal for 2022. I had to really ask myself if this is why I miss home (germany) so much. I love the fact that stores are closed on sunday, and we would spend the day after a wonderful meal taking walks and just relaxing. i rarely do that anymore. everything moves so fast in this country. we are always moving, or working. lol. if covid has taught me anything, slowing down really has some beautiful moments.

It’s so refreshing to see more and more written about the benefits of slowing down and living with intention. I’ve been living a slow Lifestyle for many years now and love it. When I was younger, I tried to live a fast paced, multi tasking life because I thought that was how life was supposed to be. I found I myself feeling drained and anxious… And also feeling guilty that I was having such a difficult time being the “super mom”, “always on the go” person I thought I needed to be. I’m so much happier since leaving those high expectations for myself behind! I look forward to following along on your Art of Intentional living series.
