Its true that we really need add beauty on our life. Life appreciation with a simple sunrise in the morning makes us feel better and make out stress out of our senses. I always start my day with a smile in a mirror and making my self beautiful and that is my little secret every morning.

@Angela – you put that so well, yes – beauty IS the reason for paying the bills, getting kids to school and cleaning the house. Without beauty, our lives would be so much less, wouldn’t they? Thanks!

@Walter – aww, how old is your son? I love babies and little kids so much… and children can really teach us so much about living, can’t they? Thanks and welcome to The Calm Space, it’s great to hear from you!

@Janice – I so hear you about your current mission to add calm, serenity and fresh air to your home! Our tastes change as we grow older, and what was meaningful or even beautiful when the kids were little becomes old, tired and often just a little ordinary after a while, doesn’t it?

When we renovated our home two years ago, out went all the many-coloured walls, the pale, pale floors and the dust-catching knick-knacks. In came beautiful wooden floors, deep coloured carpet and neutral walls throughout – even the name of the paint colour is delicious – ‘Hand-Made Linen’. We sold lots of furniture. We didn’t replace it! And now, our house feels like that sanctuary we all need away from the chaos out there. Well, most of the time, anyway. It’s been full of many kids the last 2 weeks with school holidays, but that adds a totally different dimension and a certain beauty all it’s own, doesn’t it?

I hope you’ll share the results of your redecorating efforts with us. I’m sure they’ll be inspiring!

The beauty I’m appreciating now is my little son. He brings brightness into my life. And he has also reminded me of a carefree and living-at-the-moment attitude.

To me, beauty is the reason for paying the bills, getting kids to school, cleaning the house. Life is Beautiful – a friend’s smile, a flower growing through a crack in the pavement, the sound of a baby giggling, the smell of great coffee. And it’s because of the beauty of life that makes the mundane tasks worthwhile.

Thank you, Karen. This is a beautiful message, one we can never tire of hearing. We were born to love, and to find, appreciate and create beauty. Everything that reminds us of this is the universe’s way of saying believe.

I’m redecorating and drastically changing my home at the moment? Why? Nature fuels me, but I need an injection of beauty here as well as outside. After decades of cosy kid clutter, I need more calm and serenity, a breath of fresh air to lift me wherever I turn.
