I have spent the last several mornings sitting in the living room rather than in my typical spot in the family room. Partly this is because of the fireplace, partly this is because one of the sick people in the house tend to be sleeping in the family room recliner.
For whatever reason, being there has made me more reflective. Much of our family life during the early years of the house (before the family room addition) occurred in the living room. Fireplace, television, toys…they all had their place. These days it is a room few of us visit. So that makes it the perfect place to stop, reflect and rest.
