Peace In!

What is peace? Is it the outside affect that your surroundings have on you? Is it the inner situation of your heart? Can you control the 'peace' level in your life? As I'm trying to shuffle things around..continue trying to create for Bella Colle'....assimilate to my other job.. there is peace.. because...you know why? .....I'm not in control! Sounds really weird..but the "peace that surpasses all understanding' is what's goin' on here... I really don't think you can have peace if you are trying to control your surroundings...'cause folks just aren't going to behave the way you want them to.. no biggy! Stop and smell the roses just 'cause... hey... smile at the person who get's your latte for you... What simple things can you do tomarrow that help center you? Me...hmmm... enjoy... the privilege of going to a good job... relish my children's laugh... my hubby's smile...a morning latte! Silly sounding I'm sure to some but if you don't stop and focus on the 'Peace' you can have in the simple things... Your just gonna plain miss it! Peace out Bella Peeps! LOL XO

beautiful sign

Well..completed my 'first official' day at work. Lots of information to absorb but thankfully my boss seems to wonderfully laid back! Lot's of storms rolling through our area lately..tornado to the north of us last night.. there are times when things seem so bleak...Dark as pitch.. and it ain't gonna stop! like 'gosh there ain't no hope!' But then something magical happens.. Something that just can't be explained that takes the strain and the pain away.. Well, those of us of faith... we know Who that is! This wonderful Rainbow went from one side of the sky tonight to the other!! If you look closely you can see that it is a double Rainbow! I took it personally..that it's gonna be okay. Sales may lag...I may have to get a 'big girl job' for now.. but that's okay.. it's gonna be okay. I leave you with this quote... Have a wonderful week!
