In the midst of life feeling extremely busy, I used to dream of a quiet place, where life would be settled, dreams have become reality, and I would have a perfect resting place. A place that I could go and peace and tranquility follow. Where could I find that place? I used to envision it to be a place of beauty that was far away from the day to day. My journey is teaching me that my "quiet" place can be a reality everyday!! The drive home from work can be my quiet place when I allow my mind to recognize the beauty of the scenery that surrounds me, beautiful architecture, tall trees, purple flowers, and the sound of my favorite music playing in the background. Laying my head on my husband’s chest, not speaking a word and letting the problems of the day fade away because I'm in his loving arms. My "quiet" place is the yoga class that allows my mind to be settled. It's amazing what happens when you begin to appreciate the beauty that you already have! I'm glad I have my "quiet" places!
Where are your "quiet" places?
A quiet place for me is my front or back porch of my house. I love it when the weather is absolutely beautiful, I have nothing to do and I can lazily relax by shutting my eyes. If all goes well...I can fall asleep and take a short nap.
ReplyDeleteWow, this was good, and it made me really think back to when I had this going on in my life on a daily bases. But it can be that simple in finding it, when I start to realize and appreciate the beauty that has been created each day. Thanks you for that breath of freshness..
