Peaceful Days

I know that if you have lived long enough, you have also felt those days when all you want to do is just sit back or lie dow and exhale one of the biggest breaths you have ever taken. Then, it would be quiettime. I am at that point now.

Helping myself to understand how to properly manage those types of days has taken me a while to be able to do but I think I have finally mastered it. I found it got to the point of reprioritizing my life. I found I really do have to put myself first some of the time. Others cannot occupy that spot all the time.

When I sit down and get quiet, my mind is able to just relax. Things become very clear when I do that, even my schedule. I see it clearly and I can then move things in and out or around. When I do that, I feel so good. I have that issue also with my home. Sometimes I feel like I have made it a clutter and just need to take the time to get it in order.

Taking a look at my priorities is a big thing to me at this age. A lot of things that would ordinarily bother or concern others do not even affect me now.It's not important to me to have designer apparell on my anywhere. It's not important that I own leather, silk, or any of the other expensive fabrics, etc. Life is not about that. I have always said that if I become ill and cannot work or feed myself, not one designer is going to come to my rescue. So, why should I spend my money making them very comfortable while I work hard each day and have to watch how my money is spent. Well................that's just my thought. I am not saying anything against anyone enjoys spending their own money on designer anything. Go for it.

It's just that I have come to realize what is really important in life and I'm sticking with that. I really do enjoy looking at the sky. I really do like cloudy days and rain. I really do like seeing the sunrise and sunset. I really do like the colors of falls leaves (very much) and flowers growing. When I become frazzled, I take in these things. They don't cost anything and can be retained in my memory for many, many years. I'm glad to have straightened out those priorities. What about you?
