Today started out with working a job then coming home to send out invoices. After I "clocked out" (as much as you can with owning a business haha) we all packed up and went to the movies to see the new Indiana Jones. Great movie by the way. Once we got home the kids and I went out back to relax outside and I just had to share with you about the peace I find in nature.
There is something so peaceful about sitting outside feeling the breeze and watching nature. The way the trees sway in the wind and the chickens frolicking throughout the grass looking for bugs is like heaven on earth. Today was a little chilly but at least the rain held off so we could enjoy the outside. The kids were laughing and having a blast in the pool. Its an above ground pool that we got on clearance and definitely needs some tender loving care because I have been neglecting it due to working so much but it still brings so much joy to their little faces! Maybe one day I can be transparent with who I am and show pictures of those adorable faces but for now I am staying anonymous.
I think that being able to find peace in things is one of the main ways I have been able to hold strong. Even if it is just for some fleeting moments, peace can help you weather some of the wildest storms life can throw at you. I remember during some of my husband's worst days with drinking and drug addictions, I could still sit outside and feel the warmth of the sun refill my batteries to deal with another night of him. Sunshine is one of nature's happy pills. It fills us with vitamin d and brightens up our souls.
So find solace that even in those hard moments if you find your peaceful moments they can help you build up the strength to keep you going!
