Rainy summer days
Can’t dampen the joy within
Find Your Middle Ground
~
Find your Middle Ground is about finding balance in life and coming home to our selves. When we take time to pause and be mindful we open a door to our natural state of being – accepting, loving, peaceful, kind and happy. It is there for every one of us.
No matter what the external circumstances we find ourselves in … or the challenges we face… or the weather(!), we can slow down and find the joy within.
Namaste

I so agree dear Val.. Its raining cats and dogs as we say here today, hence my logging back into WP today, and No, rain cannot dampen our spirits 🙂 In fact its saved me from the trudge of watering back and forth our allotments today LOL And its most welcome 🙂 🌈🌧🌦☔🌈💚

So good to catch you Sue during your break from trudging back and forth…. I like that! Although I have a fitness tracker now which puts a spring in my step. 😉

Lovely post, Val. Mindfulness is getting me through a wildfire that destroyed my home and community recently, and the disastrous afterlife that I am currently living through. I was practicing it before the fires, and now I see it as a lifesaver.

In challenging times, coming back to our breath and the present moment is so helpful. May it keep you steady, calm and true to yourself. I hope the re-build is going well Jet. I am also curious to see what starts to grow after the fire. 💛

I went for a walk in the mist this morning and discovered more inspiration than I imagined might be waiting there for me. The sun is always shining, even if we can’t see it.

I’m currently needing a little sunshine, but doing some self-talk to stay in my middle! It will be so hot in less than a month that I’ll then most likely miss the marine layer. LOL!

Thanks Anita. I was playing with posting from my phone and did so by mistake! It’s easier for me from my Mac when I am home. Sorry for the confusion.

Rain (and snow) slow us down when sometimes it’s the most needed. Breathe in the earth’s smell and pause. 💙
