I’m sitting here engaged in a feelings check. I’m not sure why.  I know it is a good practice, especially when self-evaluating, but that was not my intention. So, how am I feeling?  

A few hours ago, I was nervous, stressed, and frustrated with business problems. But now, for some reason, a complete reversal has taken place. What I am feeling now is carefree. And a bit slow or is that mellow? Somewhat tired. No stress. And, for some strange reason, I’m feeling empowered. 

The thought “life is good when you see the good” enters my mind. Right now, I feel so peaceful and relaxed. No thoughts (except to write). No real noise going on and that helps. Also, I’m alone in the office I love, and that comforts me.  

It is funny how a small snapshot of time, a quiet moment can become so enormous. Not much can match peace, calm, relaxation and contentment as a sure sign of being in the moment. 

My thoughts are not wandering, no worries are flying by and little matters except this—dare I say—spiritual experience. It’s great when you don’t plan, and nice things happen.  I did not sit down to meditate. I sat down to write, and this peace overwhelmed me.  

It seems to me that I needed this separation, this space to disengage. No conversation, small talk or meaningful talk. No phones, emails or alerts sounding off to distract me from the moment.  

How important the little things are. How important self-care is. How a time out pays off.

May you feel peace, love and laughter,
