  • Comfort of precious experiences

    Comfort #9 – Comfort of precious experiences.

    It may be a beautiful sunset.

    It may be the smell of rain.

    It may be the sound of the wind in the trees.

    It may be a wash of the hot wind across the sand.

    These are all experiences in Nature, and they are all precious.

    They remind us of a special time, of a connection beyound ourselves.

    Other experiences may be cooking a special recipe.

    Reading a book we once shared.

    Taking a walk to a special coffeeshop.

    Spending time in a bookstore.

    Some experiences are by ourselves.

    Some are with someone else.

    Each experience holds a recognizable, uplifting feeling.

    That is what makes it precious.

    Even if we are grieving, taking the moment to pause to breathe it in, is important.

    We can feel the meaning behind the experience.

    We are loved, or loving.

    We are in a distinct relationship with the divine at those moments.

    We are able to conect within on a deeper level.

    We can feel the Presence of something beyond the present moment.

    Although we feel it in the present moment.

    This is a feeling we can return to at any time.

    When we embrace the Presence of the divine, we are led to comfort.

    It may be a memory, or it may be a moment of peace right now.

    Comfort is always available.

  • Feeling the urge

    Pebbles of Peace Pathways 3.21 –

    Feeling the Urge

    I have been prompted more and more to follow the urge to be peaceful.

    I am really glad to discover this new tendency in me, since I had tended to be more depressed and despairing and angry in the past.

    By following the urge to be peaceful, I give people more room.

    I allow for the fact that they may be having a bad day, received bad news, are frustrated in their lives in some way.

    They may not yet have the tools to deal with these negative situations in more productive ways.

    It has taken quite a long period of commitment for me to learn the new tools which are making my life more productive.

    The new tools which I am learning include giving myself time to think about the situation.

    I also include the fact that it takes me longer to figure things out with my new tools, simply because I have not had as much practice with them.

    I move more quickly to solutions because of my new approach.

    I spend much less time in negativity and confusion.

    I have discovered my purpose in life, acquired new skills with which to fulfill it, and I love doing it.

    So it is well worth finding a way to peace.

    I am grateful every time I can be true to that urge.

    Because I am aligned with my purpose, I know the Universe is bringing good experiences into my life.

    Every adventure brings opportunities to grow and to meet new challenges.

    Perhaps I will be challenged to change my view.

    I am guided to take appropriate steps to take care of myself.

    The Universe is full of variety which It creates for us to enjoy.

    Every time I experience something new, I get to see a different aspect of the Infinite Universe.

    It is always interesting to exchange ideas with thoughtful people.

    We can become more compassionate as we learn about the lives of others.

    There is more to celebrate through conversations which open us up to more of the world.

  • Comfort of good companionship

    Comfort #8 – Comfort of good companionship.

    I know how to provide good companionship for myself.

    I respect and honor who I am.

    I love the vision my intuition brings to me.

    I trust my calm impulses.

    I revel in doing work I love.

    I become an attraction magnet through my happiness.

    I attract those of like-mind.

    Knowing this, I assure myself of my own focus.

    I love to bring the characteristics which I value highly into my life.

    In order to do so, I practice them.

    As I identify what good companionship is, and practice it, I see more evidence of it.

    I calm down.

    I let go of worry.

    I move from happy moment to happy moment.

    I am productive in ways that matter to me.

    I become willing to look at myself.

    By eliminating what is not desirable in myself, I become easier to live with.

    I take tiny steps to ensure my new practices.

    I find others who are strong in their commitment to worthy characteristics.

    They have been practicing living their higher values.

    We have much in common.

    They are clear on their life goal.

    With this grounding from both of us, we have a good foundation for thoughtful and uplifting companionship.

  • On the right track

    Pebbles of Peace Pathway 3.20 – On the right track

    I feel as though I am on the right track for myself.

    I am fulfilling a childhood dream to follow my own interests.

    I feel so calm, like I am no longer being torn.

    It was always so hard to follow the career which had been chosen for me.

    I worked hard and was successful, but I never felt relaxed about it or thought it was my given direction.

    The peace I am feeling is deep.

    It is so simple.

    I am grateful to have overcome the deep obstacles about being myself.

    It is so much simpler to be doing this.

    I love me.
