Everybody needs a place to go for relaxing, perhaps with a good book, but mainly to get a way from it all for a short while. It recharges the spirit and is good for you. If you’re fortunate enough to have your retreat in your own home so much the better. We are fortunate enough here at Mobile Tech Manor to have a long balcony outside the master bedroom. We were at a loss what to do with it until recently. My beautiful wife Sheri decided to do something about it while I was away in Seattle and she single-handedly turned it into an oasis of calm in our crazy bustling house.
You reach the retreat through these doors in the bedroom:
Once you walk onto the balcony you find a lovely sitting area that is so comfortable:
It is so peaceful and quiet in the retreat that I find myself gravitating towards it every chance I get. It’s the perfect place to escape with my Tablet PC for reading an ebook or just surfing the web. There’s usually a light breeze blowing, just tickling the wind chimes hanging from the rafter. The great view is very relaxing too:
I love sitting here and chilling after a long day. Great job, honey, and what a nice surprise when I returned from Seattle!
So do you have a retreat? Where is it?
