This is my favorite spot to sit in the RV. Granted, there aren’t a ton of options… but this by far is my favorite. The windows do it for me (also not the best picture but you get the vibe). I love being able to see the sky and the wind blowing through the big oak trees here on the property. My connection to nature is undeniable these days. Honestly, it wasn’t until a year or so ago that I realized how grounding nature is for me. How I went nearly 30 years without realizing it is beyond me, but hey. We are all finding and learning new things about ourselves each day.
Anyway, this spot. It’s the best because of the corner windows. Also, there’s no where else to sit down and type near windows like this — ha. But it’s still a great spot. Good lighting. Nice breeze when the windows are open. Just feels open.. and it’s hard for RVs to feel open.
I try to sit here as much as I can. While being outside is more favorable, I can’t always get out there when I want to, but sitting here most days is possible — at least for a few minutes. I try to sit here because I more easily connect with myself (it’s grounding for me I guess because it’s close to being outside with the windows open). Maybe “connecting to myself” sounds funny to you. What I mean is that I’m able to let go a little. I place my hands on the table and breathe lighter (also get the essential oils going). I just allow myself a moment to do nothing. Thoughts and ideas come to me of course — and I usually begin writing or journaling. But I don’t have expectations for myself when I sit here. I don’t expect to produce anything or accomplish something great. And for someone like me, that’s a big deal.
I’m at a place in my life where I’m noticing more and more the things that are so very good for me. Simple things. Of course most of us would love self-care in the form of spa days, weekend trips, time away from the hustle and bustle, etc (I mean, for SURE count me in on allll of it). But for me, in this season, the simple things are everything because I can fit them in on a random Tuesday after Avery goes down for the night. Self-care doesn’t have to be extravagant all the time. Taking care of ourselves and grounding doesn’t have to be complicated.
My corner window spot isn’t complicated. And noticing sitting that here grounds me has made a world of difference in my day-to-day. Noticing what I need… it’s made me better.
What’s your corner window?
