In this personal vlog, the speaker shares a daily morning ritual where she gently pats the walls of her cottage and verbally thanks them. She explains that this act stems from a recent period of intense trauma and high stress, during which the cottage became a vital source of comfort. By expressing gratitude each morning, she reinforces her appreciation for the cottage as a safe, healing space.

Every morning I wake up and you're going to think I'm crazy, but I pat the walls of my cottage. I pat them and just say thank you. Like, thank you for being here for me. Like, thank you. I'm so grateful. Like, so grateful for this cottage because of the trauma. It was like we had a couple of weeks where it was seriously bad and the stress levels were through the roof. And, and so now I appreciate this cottage so, so much.
