DISCLAIMER

This blog is where I record a limited depiction of my feelings, family, and faith. My blog was recently under intense scrutiny, and so I feel this disclaimer is necessary. I try to tell my story as openly as I can, but this blog represents a cropped and narrow-viewed version of my story -- like all social media -- it is NOT the full story. Many events happen behind the scenes that are not recorded or written about, due to the sensitive nature of others involved. Life has many layers. Many layers can be shared and many cannot, and this blog is simply a layer of my life that I allow others to view, but it is not an accurate depiction of all the layers of my life.

Peace

I have been studying the topic of peace lately, and I came across this quote below. I could write a whole long post about it, but I would rather you just read it through a few times, and let it truly sink in. I was almost instantly calmed when I read it...

If you are depressed you are living in the past. 

 If you are anxious you are living in the future.

 If you are at peace you are living in the present. 

 -Lao Tzu

    Just took a deep breath when I read that quote on peace.
    So true.
    I think I should post it in my car, on my frig, on the mirror, on my children,.......I love the feeling of peace. So refreshing.

    love you

    I have this quote in my "thoughts" book and have read it often. I find it to be absolutely true! I just love how direct and to the point it is...If you are doing this, then you will feel this...simple as that 😃 I am going to try not to think about everything I need to do in the next couple of weeks and just live for today...maybe I can find some peace in the month of May 😉
