I have been working very hard on ridding myself of this feeling of fear I have today and it remains a problem

… so I thought we could be creative and share what makes us feel peaceful or post a peaceful photo. I would so appreciate it. Thanks

I tried to send a photo of the last quilt I worked on before I couldn't anymore. Managed to take a photo (yay me), I just can't figure out how to get it on the computer. It's a broken star pattern I designed. All solid fabrics, teal and rust on a black background.

in reply to Starrlight

Oh you have GOT to be kidding me?! I had that same one for a long time! It was absolutely gorgeous with its coral flowers! Unfortunately, I put it outside one warm day last month and accidentally forgot it overnight (when it got below freezing). I tried everything I could to have to come back to life😪 I'm going to get another one.

I knew I could count on you to remind me of why I feel this way. So true that future doesn’t exist; only now. I am trying too hard to do and to prepare. It’s really hard to take time to just be. I am reading Tolle in his book The Power Of Now right now. I am on chapter 1.

Wee cheeky chops! 😂😍🐾❤️😘xx
in reply to

Omg! How incredibly sweet!

in reply to

That’s Milo and he’s super bossy! I rescued him and another after their humum died unexpectedly. Poor soul was elderly and was given a 18 months to live after cancer diagnosis. She only lived 3 days, so no provision made for the wee souls. Their elderly hudad couldn’t cope with them. My friend phoned me and I said I would take them until they got somewhere permanent! 😂Needless to say I couldn’t let them go and still have them. That was two years ago! They’re hard work as they’re set in their ways being older. They fight all the time! My original Chihuahua is so very tolerant of them. I think he enjoys the company since my mum died. I love them all millions and they know it. The boys had never been anywhere other than in and out of their garden. I’ve taken them away on holidays to the north of Scotland. They’ve been away on the train up to Aberdeen, Inverness and Forres. Away to Findhorn, Cruden Bay and North Berwick by car to their beautiful beaches. They’re just loving life! 😍🐾❤️😘xx

yes I’ve posted her before haaaa!

Awww that’s a terrible feeling to be having! Nothing can seem to shake it off feeling. I try to walk if I can to try to lift my mood. If I could walk anywhere it would be on my favourite beach but I can only do it a couple of times a year when I’m up in Forres. I hope you find peace in your mind and soul and can shake off the way you’re feeling. Sending you the biggest of cuddles and all my love. 🙏🏻🍀❤️😘xx

This is a little piece of heaven for me. Replenishes my soul!

It’s my salvation at times and is Culbin in Morayshire Scotland. There’s my set of foot prints and my eldest dog’s. Also my daughter and her boyfriends. It’s definitely my happy place! The most beautiful and tranquil place on earth for me. 😍🐾❤️😘xx

Hello Starrlight life can overwhelm self care and society the need to keep self awareness the response mechanisms of anxious thoughts fear or doubt, can blind reality. and the thought feeling of not good enough or of self worth with self esteem stress is a normal part of life within the process of information, acceptance purpose and pursuits of something worthy off the flight response. can sometimes get the better of self being a reflection on absorbance changing habits which are aligned to core values with sense of reality exchangeing the expanse of negative emotion flow when you share the same gratitude appreciations hope life will take you on to further accomplishments and joy and embrace take a walk of tranquility and interests something uplifting mood joy hope peace harmony

Embroidery projects always help me slow down and externalize my focus on something other than my occasionally frayed mind.

One day this will be finished. I need to redo the right eye, anything short of perfection tends to bother me (I'm working on that). The white shading on its head and the wings are done in glow-in-the-dark thread.

That's fantastic..I do counted cross stitch to help me relax. I recently went to a workshop on 'mindful stitching ' ( or slow stitching) - don't know if you've heard of it - the focus is on the process, rather than the end result. I found I was completely absorbed in it , and switched off from the sounds around me.

I find peace when I read God's Word! Psalm 23 is a great Chapter to read when you need to find peace. Pretty much all Psalms are a good place to find peace. I also enjoy going for walks in the mornings or evenings. Sometimes, relaxing with a cup of tea and listening to comforting music helps me to find peace also.

True! "My Mind is a Dangerous Neighborhood!" Wrote a poem with the first line of above, and can't find that poem -somehow, it got lost when I moved a few years ago! I've written about 400, or more poems that are on scraps of paper in bags that I can't seem to get around to type them. Have made one book of poems that I gave to relatives & friends for Christmas!

I love being around huge bodies of water, especially the sea. There's a magical vibe when your standing in front of the ocean. A ethereal dress of water, The Sea makes you think that you have no barriers, that you are a vast and unending being of power. Anxiety fades away and the sound of the water crashing upon the shore can temporarily chase away the sadness, regret, and pain that seduces my every thought.
