Inner Peace, good moments ...

[Recovery4Me]

I wanted to post my simple joyful mood. I wanted to share a Holiday Hug for those whom find a moment or more of inner peace, warmth and a form of family (even if it is family-elect). Sometimes I go about my way forgetting how magical it can be to find that ray of sunshine.

I was pushing my Granddaughter in a tree swing, playing games with hand puppets, watching the family complete a chicken/duck coop as I was on the mountain top. The wind was gently blowing bringing gratitude for toasty coats as we giggled over make believe Dinosaurs and talking chickens.

Everyone here is in this moment healthy, full, happy and warm as my Service Dog lies by my feet out of sheer exhaustion of the fun filled day. And in this moment ... I knew I was more than my PTSD. May you find the same today and always.

**ps share yours if you wish Stay well and safe.

Last year's Christmas Party. I still have the ornament that I received there to remind me of the joy I felt. It was a dinner party way up in my friend's home, in the mountains.

I have my chosen chair in their living room. As the sun sets, and turns the sky all Rosey, we all gather together and gab. Stories about our lives during the last year abound. I love the funny ones the best. We all roar with laughter.

As the evening progresses, there is such a feeling of contentment. I feel that inner peace.

Thank you for sharing your joyful moments.
In my current moment, which isn't joyful, it's nice and affirming to hear.

It snowed the other day. It snowed more in a day than we got all last winter. I had to run an errand after the snow stopped, and as I was turning back onto my street ... I saw the most beautiful thing. Like a postcard or a Currier and Ives print, but so much more beautiful. The trees on the hill behind my house were all covered with snow and were glittering in the sunlight. The houses were also covered with snow, smoke rose from their chimneys, and they looked exactly like living gingerbread houses. I marvelled at the sight for just a few seconds because it was perfect and I didn't want anything to spoil it. I couldn't believe such a sight could exist so close to where I live.

Thank you for adding such a beautiful share of closeness to each other within the breath of nature. Sunsets are among my favorite memories but you have your own chair to remember as well! That is most definitely a feeling as well as body memory of home in the moment.

it's nice and affirming to hear.

Sending you vibes of hope for the grace of a moment to be within your own experience shortly. May you find comfort among your journey and add or share sometime in the future...something that gave you peace.(if you accept) Thank you for being the authentic you.

I felt your magical moment through your words! I fondly call those blessings .... a HallMark Moment because they do indeed encompass a form of perfection much as the glee of a child. Thank you for sharing such beauty.

For a few folks, “joy“ may be too foreign a word during travails. I am often entrenched myself.

So perhaps (if you wish) please share a comfort that brought you inner warmth. As @Movingforward10 offered... it can be nice to hear.

Today, I found comfort in a steaming cup of Starbucks homemade coffee. Dark French Roast to wake my tired bones from packing. I looked into the fog filled mountain valley and read the posts above thinking- I was glad to read about some beautiful things. Thank you everyone for being present.
