Calm In The Midst Of Chaos

Even though there is chaos in our life, there is still an opportunity to remain calm. If we are able to reach a state of being at peace, it doesn't matter what is happening around us we can still center ourselves. There will always be chaos, for that is how life continues to flourish. Although it's sometimes a  difficult path to walk, we learn and grow from adversity. And at some point in our life, we hopefully come to the conclusion that there is no purpose in fighting or stuggling against what will eventually be, but to become calm in the midst of the storm. When our mind, body, and spirit are at peace, we can then truly begin to hear what our spirit is saying. And in the message we receive, we find our truth. Today, do something that makes you smile. It's funny, but sometimes the smallest gifts bring us the most joy. Leave your worries behind for a moment and see the world with rose colored glasses. Enjoy the day.
Sometimes simple pleasures are the most satisfying...
(Although living so close to the beach, I hadn't gone for ages. So just to sit and do nothing was so relaxing. I had forgotten how peaceful it can be. My daughter and I had an evening picnic and enjoyed watching the other beach goers. This definately can become habit forming.)
