Where is this summer running off to and why is it in such a hurry? Today&#8217;s Time for Me Thursday is all about creating a sanctuary for yourself. As a mom and as someone who seems to be under constant high stress lately, I quickly realized that I needed a quiet place where I could just go and relax, someplace safe to unwind.<\/p>\n<p>So, meet my bed..lol! It&#8217;s covered with one of my favorite quilts and comfy pillows. The colors are soothing and calming and for me, it&#8217;s a haven where I can curl up and read or write or when the need is there, take a nap. Now, usually the stand is not covered with a million bottles but this was the only picture I could find. Usually, it holds a bottle of water, a book and that pretty little lamp there. From time to time a teddy bear or another friend may pop in for a visit, as well.<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/craftsbykatie\/3817716025\/\" title=\"Bed by kroets, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2492\/3817716025_1370233000.jpg\" alt=\"Bed\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\">Women these days seem to be trying to do it all. We work. We take care of our children. We run our houses. We care for our houses. Now, I know that sounds as if men don&#8217;t do diddly squat, but I think y&#8217;all know what I mean. We spend every day trying to be SuperWoman or Wonder Woman or some other mythical figure and it&#8217;s stressful and it&#8217;s plain exhausting. Take some time out today to create your own sanctuary, your own oasis.<\/div>\n<p><\/center><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/s227.photobucket.com\/albums\/dd163\/kroets\/?action=view&amp;current=Name2.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i227.photobucket.com\/albums\/dd163\/kroets\/Name2.jpg\" alt=\"Photobucket\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thursday is here!
