  • Keeping my spirits up.

    Pebbles of Peace Pathways 3.24 – Keeping My Spirits Up
    I used to think there was a point at which everything would be all right forever.

    Now, I know that what is constant is the attaining of peace and accomplishment at every step, through every challenge.

    And what an interesting life it is!

    I have come to associate any heaviness which I feel with world conditions or something that I am reacting to from the past.

    The way I lift up my spirits is to consider how I can give.

    That was the directive I received several years ago during a time of great challenge and great depression.

    As I journaled, I found myself writing in all caps, two lines high, “GIVE MORE!”

    So, that has become my first step in lifting myself up, to consider how I can give more.

    This has led to developing a new career which I adore. 

    It is something which encourages me to learn more interesting skills. 

    I can share my love for what I am learning and create ways for others to learn it, too.

    When I start writing my inspirational blogs, that starts uplifting me.  

    I know to continue through as many topics as it takes until I feel completely happy.

    Then I am directed to particular projects to work on.

    That creates a completely different kind of flow than a checklist.

  • Sometimes there is a long period of growth before anything new comes into my life.

    Life- Path Story Mazes – #12 Sometimes there is a long period of growth before anything new comes into my life.

    I am accustomed to listen for ideas.

    I discovered long ago, that if I get quiet enough and stay in the quiet, that an idea might creep in.

    If I honored it, and listened every day, it would keep showing up, until I could tell what it is.

    I know this will happen, because it happens over and over again.

    Usually, there is a steady and delightful flow along my life-path.

    But sometimes, there is a pause.

    It used to scare me, but I know that it is just waiting for the right time.

    There are things in development in the Universe.

    I am one of the elements in development.

    I am waiting for the other elements to come into play.

    The Universe is bringing us together.

    When I need to become familiar with something new, it may take longer.

    I may need to acquire substantial skill.

    I may need to grow emotionally, spiritually.

    The Universe is creating a platform to support the new idea.

    I may need to practice what I already know.

    It may be time to go deeper.

    I wait, impatiently.

    I wait, patiently.

    I wait.

    It does come.

    The Universe is continually expanding my life.

    I am willing to grow.

    It is my newest skill.

  • Comfort of feeling safe

    Comfort #11 – Comfort of being safe.

    We all treasure the comfort of being safe.

    We treasure the feeling of being safe in mind, body and spirit.

    Sometimes we are driven to provide good experiences for others.

    We want them to feel safe and loved.

    Our ability to envision comfort and safety comes from the experiences which we value of feeling comforted and safe.

    I value being read to and reading to my children.

    I value singing to my classes of very young chidren.

    I value taking walks in Nature.

    I value listening to the sounds of the wind in the trees and the smell of incoming rain.

    The moments of quiet and peace give us comfort.

    We can share that comfort by letting our peace extend into the atmosphere aorund us.

    We can provide peace by not pressuring ourselves and not rushing.

    We can provide peace and comfort by an orderly routine which includes eveyone doing their part.

    Safety comes from balance.

    When everyone is doing their part, no one is overtaxed.

    We all know that what needs to be done is getting done through everyone’s contribution.

    We are safe in that provision.

    Our bodies are safe when we provide for them.

    Our orderly routine provides for our bodies.

    We know how to be safe by providing good nutrition.

    We now how to be safe by being active.

    When we take the steps to create safety, we maintain the frequency of safety.

    We create our own safety in ways in which it overflows into the lives of others, and they do the same for us.

  • The Peace of Getting Things Done

    Pebbles of Peace Pathways 3.22 – The Peace of Getting Things Done

    Things do not always get done in a particular order, but they get done in a certain order.

    When I let my list make its own priorities, it makes me happier.

    I have the habit of setting my priorities the way I always used to.

    But it is better this way.

    I started a list, to make sure I didn’t leave anything out.

    I checked ingredients for cooking.

    I collected books on my list to read.

    I knitted a little.

    And then, taking a break, I just let the thoughts of love and self-appreciation fill me.

    I let go of my plans.

    Other things have come first.

    And it is all getting done.

    In the best way, with true first things first.
