Yesterday I had a moment of complete peace that has calmed me ever since. I noticed it, I captured it, I kept it close.
Life can be a whirlwind in the middle of a thunderstorm at the best of times. I realised yesterday that in order to manage the stress of modern life we need to open a space within ourselves where it can't get in. A snug, wrapped-up-tight space deep inside where all is calm, all is bright.
So, this week I'm grateful for...
218. Moments of peace - if we give them our fullest attention when they happen, they may just be all we need.
219. A cool breeze - that shift in the heat of the day when a sliver of a stir in the air makes the world seem fresh again.
220. Fairy lights - my trees have permanent solar fairy lights and I'm looking at them right now and they are making me feel so glad.
This week I'm also ever-so grateful for books... stop by to visit me at Kidspot and remember the joy of words on paper rather than on screens!
Join our Grateful community by adding your post to the list below (please add a link back to our list here or at Kidspot). Visit some of the other lovely link-ups - it's a beautiful way to spend a little time. Oh, and it would be lovely if everyone visited a few of the 'late arrivals' to the list each week... it's sad to be late and not get any love, don't you think?
