A Quiet Day At Home

Posted on September 13, 2026September 13, 2026 by Linda

In a world that can feel like an assault with all the noise and (mostly self-imposed, to be honest) pressure to be and do more, I find sanctuary at home where quiet days hum along one after another.

As the season shifts, my attention turns ever more inward, offering room to grow paired with the very real risk of slipping into melancholy. Balance, always the goal.

I’ve had an opportunity for more solitary days at home lately, as Gerry has been busy volunteering at a pioneer museum/village not far from where we live. They’ve even good days. Quiet days. I’m leaning in to what lessons they offer me.

Come along with me on one quiet day spent at home.

Hi, I’m Linda Hoye. Welcome! I live in Saskatchewan, Canada with my husband and our Yorkie, Molly. Retired from my corporate career, I appreciate having time and opportunity to fill my days with things that nourish my soul and spirit like writing. watercolour painting, reading, gardening, and blogging about the simple joys of every day. I’ve been blogging since 2008, starting fresh here in 2022 when we moved home to Saskatchewan. May this space be a sanctuary in a very noisy world. 😊

Every life holds stories worth preserving: ordinary moments, unexpected turns, people who shaped you, and lessons only time can teach. Whether you want to leave a legacy for your children and grandchildren, or just understand your own path more deeply, writing about your life is a journey worth taking. I’ve created a guide with prompts to help you capture those memories. It’s my gift to you, so you can leave a gift for them.
