Home should be your paradise on Earth

Usually when writing about "paradise on Earth" it's some place other than your home. But for me, I try to keep my home as my paradise. My safe haven. The place that I love and that which loves me back.

It's way easier to look at it that way now that it's summertime. My greenhouse is finally filled with plants, and I slept outside on the terrace for a couple of hours last night. It seems so serene and comforting.

When it's minus 30 degrees Celsius my home is cold and seems it's holding me captive... But even then I try to do my best to see it as my safe haven. The place that holds all of me.

That's also why I dream of one day renovating and saving a big, old house here in the Finnish countryside. Creating even more of that organic, personal and inviting paradise for myself.
