My little tranquility corner

[SeattleGirl]

I got some roses today, and decided to light the little Japanese lantern my daughter gave me. I was looking at the table the flowers and lantern are sitting on, along with a picture of me and my sisters, another little candle-lamp, and a plant in the background, and I just felt sort of tranquil looking at it. I decided to share it with you folks. If any of you have a little corner, or some area of a room that makes you feel tranquil, or good, or whatever, please share it with us.

2. Sniff.

All of my corners are cluttered with junk. I envy you. :cry:

[SeattleGirl]

5. I still have some cluttered corners, but I'm working uncluttering them

You can look at my corner any time you want, Flooeldy :hug:

11. there's a fine line, it seems,

between tranquil and tranquilized.

9. I'm comfortable in this whole room; don't need just a corner:

(Not making fun of you; I do have favorite corners as well. Just no pictures of them. Your corner is very nice.)

[SeattleGirl]

12. That is so funny!!!!

Thanks for the laugh. And no, I didn't think you were making fun of me.

[Oeditpus Rex]

13. This has always been my favorite corner

The hot one.

[SeattleGirl]

14. I'm rather fond of that one myself!

Less than two weeks to Opening Day, and I got my tickets!!!! Woohoo!!!!

[Oeditpus Rex]

15. For Opening Day?

Who they playin'? Where you sittin'?

:bounce: :woohoo:

[SeattleGirl]

16. I've gong to opening day since 1997, the first full year

Safeco Field was open. I LOVE Opening Day!

Mariners are playing the Angels. We're sitting in Section 114, Row 31.

18. Edgar Martinez Drive?

Doesn't have quite the ring of Willie Mays Plaza, does it?



But the color code for those seats is my favorite color, so... :thumbsup:

[SeattleGirl]

20. Maybe not the same ring, but he is probably THE most

beloved sports figure in Seattle. And did you know that the Designated Hitter Award is now named after Edgar? :loveya:

There really are no bad seats in Safeco Field. One cool thing is you can walk all the way around the main concourse and watch the game from any angle. You ever get up this way, I'll take you out to the old ball game!

17. My house is a feng shui nightmare.

I have no peace until I leave it. :)

[SeattleGirl]

21. Mine's a bit cockeyed too.

But I'm doing some major declutterizing, which will help.

[AirmensMom]

19. That's very nice, SG!

I have fairy gardens that I can see from the spare bedroom windows. Very calming and nice, especially at night.

[SeattleGirl]

22. Do you have any pictures of them?

I love gardens, and would really love seeing yours.

[AirmensMom]

23. Well, they're a few years old.

Give me a few minutes to find them ...

[SeattleGirl]

24. Cool!

[AirmensMom]

25. Here they come ...

The plants have grown up so the fairies aren't quite so exposed anymore.

Here are the sleeping fairies.


There's a little house in the back that harleydad made. These days, it has a little fairy sitting in each window.


These are the playing fairies. The plaque on the wall says, "step softly, for faeries enchant this garden."


The beginning of the path... (I don't know why this one turned out so big)


Here's what it all looks like from the corner.

[SeattleGirl]

26. Oh, AM, I love them!!!

Thank you for sharing them. I can see how they would provide you with a bit of tranquility. Beautiful!

:loveya:

[AirmensMom]

27. Thanks.

:blush:

You can't see it, but there's a little curved bench between the gardens, next to the fence. I can sit there and look into the gazing ball. Or just look out the windows. It's COOL at night because we have a security light that's always on dim (it gets bright when someone walks by) and it looks like the gardens and path are being lit by moonlight.

I'm glad you like them. :hug:

[SeattleGirl]

29. How lovely!

I envy you for having such a place to relax. And having two kids in the Air Force, I would think you need a bit of tranquility each day.

:hug:

[AirmensMom]

31. It's wonderful, really.

And can you believe that 25 parties have looked at our house and hardly anyone has noticed the gardens? Who could resist buying a house with such a magical and relaxing place? :shrug:

Yeah, I have two in the A/F and two barely scraping by. I don't know which ones I worry about most. At least we'll be able to keep an eye on the scraping by ones when we move.

You're great. :hug:

[SeattleGirl]

34. And you are great, too, AM

:loveya:

[flamingyouth]

28. My living room fireplace:

[SeattleGirl]

32. Beautiful

I bet it's really wonderful in the winter with a fire glowing, lights low. Thanks! :pals:

[billyskank]

30. This is my little corner of tranquility

The largest picture is of my Guru. The smaller pictures are variously of Paramgurudev (my grand-Guru), my Guru again, Srila Bhaktivedanta Swami Maharaja, Radha and Krishna, and Jagganath, Baladeva and Subhadra. The open space is where I make food offerings (I then take the remnants).

Sorry about the flash reflection.

[SeattleGirl]

35. Thank you billy

It's so nice to have a place where we either do things, as you do, or that we can look at and feel the tranquility.

:loveya:

[AirmensMom]

33. This is one cool thread, SG!

Thank you!

:hug: :loveya: :yourock:

[SeattleGirl]

36. You're welcome!
