My space

One of the rooms we have been working on has been Nicholas' bedroom. He was fortunate enough to get a new bed, new desk and is waiting on some shelves to get installed. So no photo's of his room just yet!

It meant that his old bookshelf has now become mine to use!

You might remember that I created a little space for myself in the lounge room after Nick started working from home and took over the study.

I had set up a little desk for myself with my laptop so I could blog away and study without taking over the dining table or breakfast bar.

Now I also have a bookshelf.

I have room for my magazines, essentials for my study of course!

 There is room for some of my favourite things

 Lots of natural light through the day and a view of the TV at night if I just happen to be doing something boring like helping hubby with the invoicing!

Sometimes I wish I had my own room for my study but then I think I would still bring the laptop out most of the time so I could be around the people I love rather than in a room by myself!

What about you, do you have your own space?

My Space

I know that as a mother, I are meant to be giving and generous with my time and of myself but I must admit that I need some space and time for myself!

There I admitted it, I have confessed, I am a much better person if I have some time out!

Am I selfish, am I a mean person? No, I don't think so. I am just human and I need space! I need time to reflect, to plan, to prepare and to renew.

Life can be busy........., I am a wife, a mum, a Banker, a Board Member, a youth leader, a Sunday School teacher, a book keeper, a friend, a daughter, a sister.... just to name a few.

I love being me and I am grateful to have all these roles and to have so many people around me that I connect with in so many different ways!

But I also love to have some space to do what I need to do in order to keep being everything I can be! Sometimes you have to use what you can and make your space, even if your space may be in amongst everything else, it can still work!

This is my space, this is the space I created for me! I can sit here and be amongst the people I love and still have a spot where I can read, relax, create or work. My space!
