A new lease on life

For several months leading up to moving, emotionally I was at an all time low, for we were living in the most difficult and uncomfortable circumstances. Although exhausted from the upheaval and recent move, this house has literally given me a new lease on life, and living in an environment that makes me and my family feel good, couldn't have come at a better time. Even the dog appears happier! Often one sees on television home improvement programmes, where a team of experts change the appearance of a home, and wow us with inventive ideas and colour schemes. I was very concerned to create an atmosphere that would ooze tranquillity and calm, using warm natural colours. It's amazing how simply colour can affect one's mood, and although there are still things to finish, a few boxes left to unpack; we are making headway and it is wonderful to be here.

It takes me so long to do just simple things, and I tire easily, so you'll have to forgive me for not writing more this morning.
