That’s me in my grandmother’s back yard. Their home was way different than ours. Sensible. Orderly. Quite a contrast and I noticed.
Our house was stressful and chaotic. Theirs felt peaceful and normal. I think they showed me peaceful and normal on purpose.
We washed windows and made tea. Little oasis moments in a little oasis place with oasis people.
A bit of purposeful, positive oasis-making can start with anyone. Doesn’t have to be a grandmother. It can be mom. Or dad, brother, sister, aunt, uncle, cousin.
Best time to start is when the family is young. Next best time is now.
