Create an Office Oasis to Enjoy Remote Work

In the past, I  worked for several years in a sales job. It required the set up of a home office, organizing information,  and the development of a schedule for me to complete all necessary activities. Now I am a blogger and like many people working from home is a daily way of life. However, while working from home has many perks, it is not without its difficulties.  Working at home can be a difficult adjustment that could impact  work productivity as well as health and wellness.   While you have the best intentions to stay fit and healthy,  make your physical, mental, and emotional health a priority with healthy home work habits.

4 Things To Do To Upgrade Your Home

First impressions of your home start before visitors even walk in the door. They begin outside your home, starting with the curb appeal, the exterior color, and your landscaping. Even your address makes an impression. Consider updating your house numbers for a more modern font, add a pop of color with low-maintenance seasonal flowers, paint the front door, or pick out a friendly welcome mat.

It’s a Beautiful Morning to be Alive

On Monday morning, I came down to my car and was happy to see a deep blue sky. It was a beautiful morning to be alive. I know that every morning I should be thankful for life, but some days are just extra special with the beauty of nature. I grabbed my phone and took several photos.

Catching Up & My Updated Condo Dining Room

I’ve been in my condo about 2 months. Besides the work I am having done by others, my time was originally spent unpacking and organizing. I shared before that I hurt my back carrying a heavy box. It was getting better until I re-injured it. I have spent weeks trying to relax my back and let the soft tissue injury heal. Last Thursday I was worse than ever as I started having RA (rheumatoid arthritis) flashing pain in various places on my body. I have RA episodes when I’m stressed and I’ve been stressed. I went to see my primary doctor, and he helped. I got a shot and 2 prescriptions to help ease the pain and relax the muscles. Needless to say those boxes left on the balcony will continue to wait.

Ways To Make The Garden An Extension Of Your Home

Even though we are in winter and many of us have snowy yards, today I want to discuss making our gardens useful places to visit. For many of us, our gardens often feel like a separate outdoor space that isn’t used that often. The problem people have is that perhaps they find that their outdoor space isn’t really a user friendly space. You may have a large lawned area, perhaps planted a few plants at some point, and maybe it is good for sitting out when the sun shines or watching your children play. Now consider how it can be a space that can be used for all kinds of things.

Comfort Spring’s Most Popular Posts in 2023

I’m sorry that I’ve been off line so much, but life is very busy when you move. I am taking a break from unpacking. My apartment has a bed set up, and dressers in the right rooms . We won’t mention the ocean of boxes. I am currently doing laundrey and hanging up the clean clothes in the closet. No more living out of a suitcase for me.

Today we’re reviewing Comfort Spring’s stats for 2023. I had 41 features last year. Many thanks to the link party hosts for their support. In terms of posts with the most visits, I must say I’m not sure how these posts became so popular, but I’m not complaining. The top 10 posts are all over a year old.

The Murphy ‘Halls Are Officially Decked!’

As many of you know, I am selling my house and buying a condo. I just have a few Christmas items in the living room to keep me happy, but I won’t be putting up a tree and doing all the decorating I normally do. Right now there are 2 stacks of packed boxes in the living room with more to come. Each stack is as tall as me. Same in the dining room. An inspector came last Monday at 12:45. Last Tuesday an appraisor came at noon. Sigh! I’ll be so happy when this is all over. I move to Lakeland on January 10th. Today’s photos are courtesy of my nephew James up in Michigan. Thank you James!
