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 Fiction: Irrational

The old house had to be up to code in less than a week. The wiring was fried, and the walls were crumbling. Demolition seemed to be the only answer but the irrational woman that had hired him insisted that it had to be fixed. It seemed she had a strange attachment to this pile of rotting lumber. The week passed and the house was no where near ready. She came in slamming doors leaving piles of rubble in her wake as the fragile walls gave way. Cracks in the foundation widened as she continued the tirade until the ceiling came down on her. In the mist of dust and debris someone heard a fading whimper as she expired with the house she loved so. Why is she so insistent that the house be fixed instead of simply demolishing it and starting over? Is it fitting that her end came with the end of the house? The word is irrational and this post comes in at 125 of the 150 word limit. Vist M3 for official rules and word list. Visit Redmund Productions to pick up the serious and rememb...
