Monday, Monday . . . (monthly weigh in)
It is Monday. I slept so hard last night that I can’t remember sleeping? I remember my head on the pillow . . . then it was my husband saying–“get up–you’ve over slept”, my clock’s red numbers told me it was 6:23–I normally get up at 5 and start writing . . .
Today I want to sleep. I want to drink coffee while sitting underneath the electric blanket. maybe knit, maybe not. maybe read, maybe not. I guess I don’t really want to sleep–I want to rest. I want to just slow down.
I want to stop. Not quit. Not give up. Stop and be, reflect, think, in that stillness give thanks in everything. Not worry. Not fret.
The Lord say, “My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” Exodus 33:14
In the kitchen I have compost waiting to go out and make anew. The living room is filled with laundry waiting, waiting. Each room had one or two things that need to be tended to . . .
The Lord gives strength to his people; the Lord blesses his people with peace. Psalm 29:11
I’m typically a non-stop, planning, going, doing, can’t sit still, person but at this moment I feel at PEACE with my life. I finally feel like I’m in the right place and everything fits–on the inside. I had a bracelet that says “peace comes from within” and I gave it away to someone who I thought needed to hear those words more than I did. Today I believe that more than ever–my peace is not coming from clean counters or clean toilets . . .
I’m praying that everyone will find their own peaceful place. Be Blessed.
Oh wait, I need to mention my weigh in . . . which I did forget to do this morning but I know that I have put on two pounds. So down 4 (11/1/12) and up 2 (12/2/12)–so we will see how this month goes . . .
