Peace…

The last two mornings, temps have been in the 50’s when I’ve come down stairs and I LOVE IT.  I LOVE the cooler mornings and can’t wait for cooler days too.  

Both mornings I have run up to put on my walking clothes and run out the door as early as I can so that I can enjoy my walk in the cool morning air.  

Autumn is definitely my favorite time of the year, or at least the beginning of my favorite time.  I love the cooler weather.  My closet proves it as I have more fall and winter clothes than anything else.   

I love being cozy in sweaters, leggings, long socks.  

I love mornings sipping a nice cup of hot tea.  Currently, I’m sipping on some hot cinnamon spice tea, though I started my morning with some pumpkin spice tea.  

I love to watch the leaves change, to see the wind swirl them around.  I love sitting outside wrapped in a blanket, sipping my tea or cocoa, and just feeling the wind all around me, listening to the birds sing and leaves rustle.

In fact, I just moved the computer and tea outside as the dog insisted we go out.  It’s not as cool anymore, but 66℉ is still nice.  The birds are chirping but the breeze is light.  The sky clear and a beautiful shade of blue.  

It makes me forget all the crazy stuff that’s been going on around here lately.  It feels nice to let go and just be… to be in and with the birds and breeze and leaves and trees.  To let them soothe and comfort me, give me peace.  

“My peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you” ~ Jesus

That’s what came to mind as I typed that paragraph above.  Do you think this is what he meant?  Next he said, “Let not your hearts be troubled…”    As I sit here feeling the air around me, the birdsong, my heart does feel lighter and I do feel peaceful.

I’m even typing this with my eyes closed so as not to disturb the moment and enjoy the peace…

Until next time ♥️ …
