Shadow climbed into the Coke Zero box and he loved it in there. Isn't it great how cats can find happiness in the simplest things? There is a lesson there no? :)
I decided yesterday that I was giving up.
I have been struggling with the chaos around me for so long that has been eating me alive. I have so much anger over things that I cannot control that I struggle with pretending to be happy half the time. By some miracle I am staying healthy though I show many classic signs of stress disorders. And I just couldn't juggle everything anymore.
I closed my eyes and surrendered it all to the God and Goddess. I opened my heart and gave them all my struggles and troubles. I confessed that my way was not working and I was open to change. I was tired of looking through the eyes of anger and prayed to see through the eyes of love. I opened myself up and affirmed that I was ready for a miracle...a change in perception. I am willing to change...I have to change.
And I felt this overwhelming peace settle over me. Even now I feel different. Whenever my mind starts back on it's old path of negativity; I hear this gentle admonishment to center me again.
There is this weight that is gone today. Giving over everything to the Divine is a balm for my soul.
I'm not a total Pollyanna...I know that I will still struggle...but now I know in my heart that I wil be okay.
I wish you all Bright Blessings and full bellies.

Shadow definitely looks pleased! And I agree, there can be happiness found in simple pleasures. I wish I had a cat cave like the Ched, that's my idea of a retreat!!!
Hugs Ruinwen and take care, G
Just letting go of the idea that things can be "fixed" can be a huge liberation. It's a conundrum of human nature that when we're confronted with situations we can't control, we try to persuade ourselves that it is: "if I can only do x, y won't happen".
After all, you can't have peace at any price, if no one's selling.
...that may or not make sense. :O
Just stopping in to leave a hug. Hope things are going ok today.
Take care, G

I love Shadow's choice in hideaway!
And wish you a lot of peace...there's just a certain amount of life that we can't control, and that's a hard thing to learn...
(((((hugs)))))
