I am awake, I am alive, and this morning it is the teachings of balance that bring peace to my world …

Balance – day/night, new/old, winter/summer. The world is forever in balance and for peace of mind, we must be as well. For me, that means that as the outside world struggles with climbing numbers and uncertainty, my inner world must remain consistant and comforting.

So this is me, taking joy in routine – wake up, make the coffee, feed the furmate, write the blog post. This is me taking comfort in old habits – colder weather = crocheting. This is me creating comfort foods and space for hours of rest and reflection. This is me taking comfort from doing my steps, maintaining my health, and living so that I can embrace and enjoy yet another day, no matter what it brings.
