| Serenity
Coming soon in kit form.
This word is a trigger to slow down
and breathe. Just saying it – Se-ren-i-ty,
four syllables of replenishment – can boost
the spirit. I don’t have to be frazzled,
harried, on the run and at the beck and call of
everyone!
Serenity is my balance against non-stop
activity, counters the times that need to be fast
and busy. How do I know there’s a measure
of serenity in my life? I have a few barometers:
when I can respond to others in an unhurried way;
when I can say YES to my loved ones; when I realize
that despite all the daily doings, I am also growing
as a person.
It’s only in the still moment
that I can be fully receptive to the beauty that
surrounds me – in nature, art and music.
When I allow for these moments,
I am truly refreshed.
