My House Feels Sad and I Need a New Blog Name.

I am very sensitive to the "feel" of a building, place, home...whatever.  And now I  have realized that my home feels sad to me.  Heavy hearted, depressingly SAD. 

JA works weekends now at a part time job to help combate our rising mountain of medical bills.  This is good for him since he feels he is providing excellent finanacial support for us.  But I feel lonely.  The twins have their friends and are always gone.  Between the colder weather and this lonely feeling, I have done a lot of nesting.  The need to cook and bake extensivly on the weekends is actually theraputic for me.  We have been through a very, very rough past 9 months and I have the need to heal myself from the inside out.  I take things slowly.  If I need to rest, I rest.  It is a small start but a start nonetheless.

As for my house, I don't know what to do.  A party would liven things up, but I have become very anti-social while I bring my soul back around to it's normal state.  So that is out.  I mean I am even having a hard time just visiting my blog buddies and leaving comments!  Work is very social due to the unique environment I am in.  And that is just enough for me.

So back the house...How does one make their house not feel sad?  Short of an exorcism, I don't know what to do.

As for the blog thing, I have a strong need to move on to another blog name and use my middle name, Marie instead of the psuedo name of Aithne.

Blog title words that come to mind are Sapphire, Halo, Wispy, Soul...some kind of combo of those or others. Just a new place to call "home" in the blogging world.  Something that reflects humor perhaps?  Like Pink Honey?  That is too sticky sounding.

I'm all for halo and angels. Pink halo?

I know what you mean about feeling sad sometimes. Money troubles are the worst and never seem to completely go away. That's middle class for you.

I like the name "Wispy Halo". A lot.

I, too, have become very antisocial while trying to heal after my mother's death. I think that sometimes we just need to be alone while we lick our wounds and become well again. Take all the time you need. It's okay, really. ((hug))

I'm a big believer in color and light. Change all of your lampshades to pure white and increase all lihgtbulbs by at least 50 watts. Repaint the room where you spend the most time. Pick a soft creamy yellow and then stand lavender around in a petite vases. Throw a colorful quilt over the back of your chair and choose something in a light aqua for an accent. Fill an oversized bowl with oranges and put it on the counter. It sounds simplistic, but it will give you something to look forward to and before you know it, you are living in the future. With good lighting.

I like pink halo too.

As for your home: how about some flowers and scented candles?

Flowers would be good. Candles...I have just about every type and scent. But they just aren't the same if you don't light them anymore.

Gotta go light some candles.

Pink Halo? Hmmmmm. I just wonder if that might be the new name after all. I think someone stole my ID for the new name.
