Be Still

I turned off the TV. I shut down the noise and listened to the quiet.  I calmed my mind. 

I erased thoughts of housework, problems, money and schedules. I gave myself permission to skip the concert at the Temple tonight, the craft fair, reading the next book club selection and the birthday party. 

I pretended I am retired in Tennessee and rocking on my front porch. I folded up the paper without reading it.

I sipped my coffee. I refused to obsess about things out of my control.

My motto for today: Be Still and Know That I Am.

Happiness!  And Peace...
