Peace And The Long Winter

I am anxiously waiting for spring. Winter has been cold and long. The forecast indicates another week of cold before we get to seasonal norms.  I am struggling to maintain my equilibrium. Going for a walk is almost impossible as the sidewalks are filled with ruts, ice and water. What to do?  I have made sure I have lots of contact with people, resting as I need to and staying physically active even if it is indoors. There is a weariness to my spirit right now. The number one thing that is sustaining me is reaching out to people. I have tended to be an island in the past and I know I cannot live like that anymore. I am grateful to know this and grateful that I am honouring myself by acting on it. I do not have peace in my life when I am in loneliness.  And I love having peace in my life.

As you take two minutes to consider peace for our world today, think about what you are doing during this long winter to sustain peace in your life.
