Smoothing Ragged Edges

About

Inner healing and a place of peace. ~Pat
Description
This page is a place to go to look for a sense of peace. Look into your inner self and heal those ragged edges. Also about growth while surviving. Mending the heart while becoming strong and finding that inner peace. It is the basic hope that those who need, receive, each at their own level. Sometimes we all need a little support and a little hope, and my wish is this page provides it.

Don't close the book, just turn the page.
Looking at that photo, that has almost got to be line 6. I think that is one of the only ones above ground at least for some of the time you can see the tour de eiffel, or as we know it, the Eiffel Tower.  
I lived in Paris for 15 years. I rode the metro almost anytime I went anywhere. The few times I tried the bus, something happened and I ended up trying to find my way to where I was going because the bus stopped. Right there. Driver said in french to basically go to the next stop and wait for the next bus, but not knowing where that was? No, I stuck to the metro. Was very fast and efficient and you got to see entertainment at some of the stations.  That was a chapter I didn't want to have closed, but when my husband passed away in 2013, it closed. I came back to the U.S. I still stay in touch with some of the people from there, mainly ex-pats, who are back in the US. I do still have some friends who are French or are just still living there I stay in touch with. It was the most awesome experience and I will never forget it.

We never know what life will bring us. Yes, always just be kind. It may be you that needs it the next time.
I will say I agree with this post. I also need to say that except for Tuesday, my next few days may be messed up enough that I will be posting at odd times for me. After Wednesday, life goes to a turn the page, not close the book type of thing. Then I tackle the house, Christmas and things in between. 

Thank you Power of Positivity.

There is so much about healing, being positive, doing the right thing that at times I know things are repeated. I just hope that whoever needs to see something, they see it and I posted the right thing for them. We all definitely need positive reinforcement. Also honesty. The positive is really not positive if we don't believe what we are saying, then it is just talk.

Thank you Trudi Jane
Such a deep, thought-provoking post. Hard to fathom it in part, as so much is pounded into us that love is the beginning and the end,  you die from loss of it, you live because of it. It is almost like a fairy tale and they all lived happily ever after. Not true. Everything in some moderation or we lose ourselves in the process.  I don't think happily ever after is real for 99% of us. Something always happens to negate that. 
Thank you Peaceful Mind Peaceful Life
Yes, as long as you are alive, your story continues. Don't let any negative thing stop you from living. No matter how large or small. Your story is not finished until you take your final breath and everyone who knew you is gone. 
Agreed.  Love doesn't just disappear when given, even if it is not wanted. It flows out and will come back in different ways. I don't think love has to mean, for ever and ever, just for one person, the same feelings your entire life. I think you can love many at one time. The more you love, the more it seems you have to give. Love changes as you change and grow. It is a positive entity and we have to view it as something that is, and not look at how we think it should be. See it in the many things we do for each other, not just to one person. But always remember to take care of ourselves as well.
Thank you Tiny Buddha.
Again, this seems to reiterate what I was saying above. Love flows. We care about how people are, they care about us. Love is there. There are so many different forms of love, but too many focus on just one form. 
 
Choose to see light. Do not close the door, just turn the page and keep going. 
Have a wonderful Saturday and peace be with you today.
