Yesterday I had a moment of complete peace that has calmed me ever since. I noticed it, I captured it, I kept it close.
Life can be a whirlwind in the middle of a thunderstorm at the best of times. I realised yesterday that in order to manage the stress of modern life we need to open a space within ourselves where it can’t get in. A snug, wrapped-up-tight space deep inside where all is calm, all is bright.
So, this week I’m grateful for…
218. Moments of peace – if we give them our fullest attention when they happen, they may just be all we need.
219. A cool breeze – that shift in the heat of the day when a sliver of a stir in the air makes the world seem fresh again.
220. Fairy lights – my trees have permanent solar fairy lights and I’m looking at them right now and they are making me feel so glad.

Glad you were able to grab that moment – sounds heavenly.
We have permanent fairy lights wrapped around our enormous tree in our backyard – makes all of us happy to turn them on when we eat on the deck – enjoy yours!

I love year round fairy lights. They are one of those things that almost make me stop and go ‘ahhhhhhhh’.

There’s nothing better than when both my littlies are sound asleep, and all you can hear is the sound of them sleeping π
Ms Jelena says
I love fairy lights! I actually bought the “galaxy star projector” from kmart the other day and I turn it on at night and I have a starry sky in my bedroom. It’s incredibly calming π
And completely agree about having a little space within ourselves where worries can’t get in…
Have a great weekend! xx
Miss Cinders says
Searching for my moment of peace at the moment… thinking I might find it in the bathroom… I’m going to escape the mayhem and go have a shower!
Brenda @ Mira Narnie says

You really have a flair with words. And with telling the most basic truths that in our busy lives we fail to acknowledge.
Nee Say says
I know these moments. They are rare but when they arise I cherish them!
Super Ordinary Mum says
As always – loveyour post, and am about to go and buy same fairy lights to add to our trees – My Miss almost 4 will love them.
Embrace the little moments of peace (internal or external) and you will realise they are everywhere.

Simoney says
Peace is my favourite thing.
Maybe because it is so RARE.
Not just external peace, when all is quiet, but inner stillness too… when thoughts are not whirling.
{Fairy lights are up there too}

Miss Mandy says
I can’t get enough of fairy lights.
Seana Smith says
No peace for me this weekend, party self-induced, after a shocking multiple hangover on Saturday. But sometimes it’s just very important and necessary to drink far too much.
Peace tomorrow approx 8.30am… I’m waiting patiently!
LionessLady says
Cant go past fairy lights for feeling some love! (and please dont hate me for being so slack in my gratefuls lately – I end up working Thurs, Fri nights then Sat and sometimes Sunday too and things tend to get left by the weyside!)
Kymmie says
There is so much to be said for peace. And a cool breeze.
As for fairy lights, I’ve decided there just aren’t enough here at our place. Sigh. And now I have to wait another 9 months before I can buy some!

Deb @ Bright and Precious says
I adore fairy lights too. There’s something so magical about them. (In fact, I wrote about my love for them a few weeks ago). I am so glad you found some moments of peace. It’s so important for our souls. You have a beautiful blog, by the way. x
Sonia @ Life Love and Hiccups says
ahhhhh peace, breezes and fairy lights – you got me on all three. I never tire of fairy lights, their is just something so magical about them and they always make me feel like a kid in a good way. The world needs more fairy lights…. xx
