Personal Nesting

I had a revelation yesterday.  I am nesting.  It is an odd feeling.

 

I am 45 and peri-menopausal.  As I go through this I am slowly and surely becoming more home focused.  I have trouble concentrating on anything outside of home.  I feel this overwhelming need to create a personal nest at home and all of this homesteading is part of that.

 

I believe my husband is going through it too.  He is becoming much more home focused and his desires are mirroring mine.

 

I don't know if all people in their 40's go through this personal nesting time.  I do know that it feels right and good.

 

Joyfully,

Cheryl

I'm not sure everyone feels that in their forties, but I don't see anything wrong with it. After all home is the center. It's the place that you are most effective.
