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.

Time
Thank you Spirit Trails
It really does. I can look back at all the things I worried about and in the end, most all didn't matter. The people were what mattered. Right now I am trying to decide about starting another group on FB for those dealing with depression.  There have been so many I have run across that are dealing with it. At least with a group, we will all perhaps not feel alone and also with us being in different places in our lives, our depression, etc, we may be able to help each other. It is just a big responsibility and I am not sure how much time I have to devote to it, especially with summer coming. The garden/yard take up a lot of my spring, summer and fall. 
Thank you Inspirational Quotes.
I am keeping these shorter as my days feel so short right now. Before I know it I am gone for 3 hours and when I get home, I am tired and still need to check pages one more time.  Guess I need to get up earlier... ugh. That thought doesn't please me at all, especially since I know the time is about to change again and we lose an hour. Which means I will probably be getting up later. Anyway, have a great Thursday.

Do what is right, even if it feels wrong...
Thank you World of Poetry
I found that a lot of times, my feeling dumb for doing something is because it is out of my comfort zone. But I also must discern if it is because of that, or it is indeed something I should not do. That is the part that makes it much more difficult.  Wrong for me? Wrong by society? Wrong for God? We must know what we are doing and why. Let it be for the right reasons.
Sun is shining but it is only 43 degrees outside. It looks so much warmer! Spring is coming. Way too soon, but I will take it. 
Thank you A Life Simplified
I would have argued this before. Now, I realize how much stuff I have to try and dust, keep up with, clean around, move, search through to find what I want. I am constantly taking things out of places they are in and putting them in a box to sell.  I want less to deal with, I don't have time to take care of everything and take care of me, as well as do things I want to do. There is a sale every summer, M88 sale and I have been setting up for the one day every year. It is my time to get rid of more and more items that I am not using, bringing to light more that either I want to keep or more to get rid of. I am always amazed at the time we spend accumulating only to in the later years of our life realize it is now time to get rid of...
Perhaps that also covers people as well...
Thank you Spirit Trails
Thank you Life on Purpose
I love this last post and is a good spot to say have a great Wednesday and hope to see you tomorrow!

Belonging 
Lately I have been feeling all of the above. I am not alone in that. It seems there are a lot of us in the 'dark place' lately. The weather if better so that is not it. But there seems to be a heaviness in the air, like waiting for something bad that is going to happen. It honestly makes it very difficult to post positive when it is not being felt, either by myself or others around me.
I need to indeed remember to whom I belong. 
Well, I can only hope that is true!
Thank you Dr. Doyle
That is a good point. I have of late, been wondering more than ever why I react a certain way to something. It is not easy looking at your reactions and trying to decipher why they are what they are and where they are coming from. Usually not where I expect them to be from...and not always appropriate for what the scenario is.
If I slow down any more lately I will be at a full stop.  That said, between FB locking me out and causing almost a full anxiety attack, my schedule totally being off today and having to go to a special presentation tonight at Church, today is short. 
You all have a great Tuesday!!

 Good Morning!

Thank you My Closing Thoughts
I do love this post. I wonder how my soul would be decorated differently than what I have around me in the house. Eclectic. But things I love. I would hope my soul would be the same... lots of love.
Thank you Courage, Strength and Hope
Thank you Spirit Trails
It is difficult to see how it all connects, but it does.  One can't survive without another. There is a balance and we has humans tend to destroy that balance in nature, constantly. Even within our own lives and then wonder why things are not going well. Time to look, find how it all connects. Find balance in your life.
Have a great Monday!

Do YOU reach out?
Many people are just 'natural reachers', others are not. This is just a reminder for those who think about calling, checking up on someone... do it.

The people in your life...
Thank you Tiny Buddha
A great list. The third down reminds me of the movie Avatar. They would say "I see you" which meant so much more than just visually seeing the person in front of you. How many of those around you meet the criteria on this list? Are these criteria necessary? Only you can answer that...
Thank you Spirit Trails
Thank you Sit With Whit
Some  awesome things to say! Makes the apology much more meaningful.
This seems like a great place to call it a day. I don't see any other posts at the moment that call to me to share them. 
Happy March 1st, we are moving into a weekend with nice weather. May your day be a great one today!
