Slowing down




Sorry for being away from this space yesterday, fatigue set in and I was not able to get to post my thoughts and feelings before sleep took over for the day.  I also found myself somewhat unfocused with respect to noticing and celebrating, if you will, the daily blessings I enjoy.

As I was involved in bedtime routine with my oldest last night and, my mind had an opportunity to quiet and declutter, I was aware of how beautiful and healing quiet and stillness can be, especially if you have the chance to cuddle next to a warm, loving, unconditionally supportive person.  That sense of warmth, stillness and slowness was wonderful and very healing.  I thought about the world in that moment and how much healing could come for so many people if they just had a moment (a real moment) to stop and experience stillness, in addition to a warm hug or cuddle from someone who truly loved them.  I am not an overly sentimental or 'mushy' person and yet all we have is each other and our own thoughts and feelings.  Here is wishing you a warm hug and a chance to be still and experience joy.

What brings you joy?

  1. Thank you for wishing a warm hug, stillness and joy. All of these things happened to me today...it must be because you wished it to be.
