I am discovering a new way of being. I have written already of the wonderful background music of smooth jazz or meditative guitar instrumentals that I have recently discovered. I am filling my home with soft sounds of melody and quiet beats. Occasionally, I add incense and lit candles.
As a result, my dog and I both find ourselves just resting and relaxing in the space. There is a quieter, more peaceful feel to the air. And, somehow things done are more intentional.
Today I had a handyman working in my home. And, even that activity did not disturb the peace that is being created. It was nice…and a very new experience for me.
I made a decision to quit reading the library books that I have on my desk. None of them are enticing me and having to read them by a certain date feels more like a job that a peaceful past-time. I haven’t given up entirely on reading, but I am choosing to read books that are fun and light and not challenging or required. I guess that might mean the various book challenges that I am a part of will fall by the wayside, but I am OK with that.
I have noticed that I am writing more frequently. Maybe that is part of this new way. I will see how it develops.
