C is for Calm

It's been so long that I'm not sure what it is anymore but I think I'm beginning to find calm. It is the feeling that allows you to find contentment in the smallest things. It does not have to be something major, it can be something as simple as a gentle breeze.

There are a number of things that have a calming effect; I look forward to being able to do them. What are they? I'll tell you in no particular order.

Walking on the beach.
Drinking a beer by a bonfire.
Sitting in front of a fireplace.
Reading a book.
Spending time alone just thinking or writing just to write.

Calm is a nice feeling, and one that has been missed the last few years. Slowly it is returning that is why C is for calm.

Agreed, extended times of calm and peace can be difficult to find in today's world. I head into the wilderness for a walk pretty much every chance I get. It refreshes me so I can return to the chaos with a clear head and patience for others. Sometimes music helps. Prayer always helps. A good book. Beer by a fire. Writing. Hey, when did I start copying your list?

Calm and contentment are gifts to be treasured. Sometimes we have to be in chaos before we appreciate calm. To many it seems boring but I find it exhilarating.

My little girl would love a walk through the woods, but the best I can do at the moment is to take her to the park this weekend.

The chaos always makes me appreciate the calm more.

Flash in the Pan Playing Along Still

The pages were bent and ragged from years of use, covers worn out from hands rubbing over them. There were bowls everywhere, the oven was still hot. She tasted it again, something wasn’t right. It was sweet, tangy but not right. What was missing? She scanned the room again to see. Onions maybe? No, but what could it be? She hit her head on the cabinet. A pepper that was it!
