[QUOTE="Deni D, post: 763477, member: 22840"] Acacia ~ my most favorite things, other than the good book, exactly what I did for myself for a bit today, although I do love a good book. I also wish the ability to find serenity within the storm and enjoyment with whatever small delights anyone reading here finds most pleasurable. Sometimes we don't see the importance of or really can't find our way to the small things that are good for us in the middle of the storm. I know I couldn't for a very long time. But now I know it is in the middle of the storm, when it's most important for our wellbeing when these things are needed most for us. For me, back when things were really crazy, I finally accepted I had no control of anything, well actually had that proven to me over and over so there was no choice but to accept it. And weirdly I kind of tipped over the edge and started to find delight things that surprised me here and there. My most favorite back then was standing outside in my bare feet, no matter the weather, grounding myself to the earth and nature. It kind of jarred me back to life, knowing that I, my life mattered, I am valuable, as a human, I matter. Now though these days, I've been able to compartmentalize my life somehow. Not something I knowingly sought after, but it has happened. I can put aside my son's issues, his skirting with homelessness, his very dramatic ups and downs, the what will his future bring for him. We don't know much as far as our adult children go in general, we don't know so much, what they think, how they feel, what they will do or not do, can or can not do. It does affect me but somehow I can put it in a box separate and aside from me and now see the world again. A world I had lost for a long time, one I didn't even know I had lost. I can tell from Acacias post here and of others who have been here for a long time, that no matter the situation we all can find our port in the storm place. And I do remember the days when I read others stories here wondering how they managed to get through the day let alone find peace within themselves while dealing with the reality they had no choice to deal with. So back to the start, I wish for anyone reading here the ability to find your way to serenity within the storm and enjoyment with whatever small delights you find most pleasurable. You deserve it, you are important, you are loved. [/QUOTE]
