Peaceful Truths

Although I find it hard to be peaceful at the moment I find myself being grateful for things and being able to channel some kind of peace through giving thanks for those things so as to make the other - not so peaceful - things feel not so bad and less consuming. I don’t know if this makes sense?
Okay a literal example. Today I was so overwhelmed I couldn’t face the day, so I stopped and cried about it like a complete baby (it was only a matter of time it had been building for weeks). My husband took me out for lunch and told me to nap before I had to clock in for work and although there were a plethora of other things to worry about and obligation was telling me to do instead I did as he said and felt much better and afterwards found myself listing off things I was grateful for. Living with my best friend who understands me and likes the same lifestyle I do, my dog who makes me laugh ALL the time and then from these big things down to the small things like my new-ish tea mug and how cozy it makes me feel and then before you know it even the negatives become positives, I miss my family back home in England but Christmas with them last year was so wonderful and there will be more Christmas’ with them in the future and how blessed am I to have a family that love and miss me so so much back. And thus.. peace can be found when you’re not feeling so peaceful by just shifting the focus from the some not so peaceful anxiety filled made-up truths to the nicer, truer and more peaceful truths.
And that’s my piece for today folks.
Love ✌️
