The power of positive thinking.

A few years ago I saw this gazebo in a shed magazine I purchased, before we moved here. Then, it appeared in  my PIN feed to remind me - dreams come true.  I loved the look, clean & simple yet elegant, mostly - I loved that it was completely screened in.  Let me tell you, if you live in the woods - it is an absolute must!  Now there's a screened in reading, meditating & praying gazebo (Japanese inspiration) in my yard!  No bugs allowed!  Just 30 feet from the house - placed where it was meant to be.  
​It took Norm a bit to figure it out from only the photo - I knew he could.

 I've hardly been out of it since it was built.  The details of all the tiny custom made screens including 10 tiny around the top & 4 large triangles  and the beams, have you looking up with appreciation for the craftsmanship.  It's smaller than 9 by 9  yet big enough for 2 or 1, (and dogs).  We have  several outdoor sitting areas, including a dining area- but this is the only screened in, perfect for overcast & evenings & rain! From it you can watch the sun rise  &  the sun go down on the other side.  A chair for reading, small end table for my coffee/tea and  a day bed' made from our old sofa cushions and a frame that's stained the same as the gazebo... it's perfectly peaceful!

Here's where the custom mushroom shelf is installed!  It looks better than I imagined.
Staggered, they will easily hold a cup of tea or glass of bubbly & my buddha  with candle.  
I did not want electricity... no speakers, no noise, other than the wind chimes.  Nature & silence is the 'noise we appreciate most - birds chirping, trees swaying and the rain on the roof is incredibly relaxing.

'The dogs love it! Daisy thinks the day bed is hers - once raised, I told her she has to get up on her own!  Arrow is the one that opens the door for everyone  & there's a rope installed inside the door-  I'm training her how to open it to get out.   The view  is lovely, yesterday tiny birds sat & sang in the branches beside me, it's easy to fall asleep - I'm sure  it will have many nap sessions.

Before & after the day bed' lol
From the moment I saw this gazebo the magazine, it kept reappearing...
I could imagine us sitting & relaxing in it - before we even moved here, it was waiting.  
​God knew... a special place to pray, read & give thanks.  

It's holiday Monday!  I'll be in the gazebo with the girls taking it easy, relaxing with a good book, tea made from raspberry leaves (picked fresh) and possible napping - if Daisy shares. 
​
Have faith!  Never stop believing.  It's mental health Monday - I couldn't think of a better spot to continue positive thinking'.      No mosquitos permitted! 
Happy August & Holiday Monday - I hope you are feeling peaceful where ever you BE.
