SERENITY

What brings you serenity?  Think about it!  When was the last time you took a moment to rest your weary body, mind or soul to contemplate what serenity means to you?  


What conjures up an image of a "serene repose" for you?  
Consider taking time to watch a family of ducks or geese with their babies swimming across a pond...watch an entire flock of baby lambs frolicking across a meadow... sit on a park bench and watch the sunset...Walk through a field full of sunflowers...Listen to a waterfall...Feel a gentle breeze on your face...


When was the last time your mind was unclouded?  Bright??  Tranquil???


Read the prayer below and allow it to sink into your heart, mind and soul:
"God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can,
And, wisdom to know the difference...."
Have you ever found acceptance?  Courage?  Wisdom?  It is yours for the asking!!!


Find a photo or picture which allows you to take a moment and reflect......pause.....and consider all that is good, beautiful and lovely.....

Hang it up on the wall at home or put it up in your cube at work!!!  
Take a few minutes to reflect on what is good, beautiful and lovely!!!
Try it today......you may find your place of repose...even if it is just in your mind or on the wall!  Enjoy!!!
