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.

Especially when someone is going through a difficult time.  Hard is still hard. Kindness makes everything a bit better.
Wishing you a relaxing Sunday!

Blind to all around us...
Thank you Heartly Simple
I feel like there is more I could say about it, but it pretty well speaks for itself. And it is true. Seldom are we grateful for what we have, but often we are wishing for something we don't have. Guess it is human nature, or we are being fed what we need/want/should have between TV and social media.  Notice how when happen to look at an add, all kinds of ads come up after for that exact same thing?  We are definitely being monitored and fed what they want us to see.  Get control of your own appetites, be grateful for what you have and stop wishing for what you don't! 
Thank you Susan Gale Quotes
Yes. Enjoy each lovely moment and be grateful for it.  That moment, like water flowing or the wind blowing, will not touch us again. Only a new moment at another time for us to also be grateful for!
Have a great Saturday. The sun is shining and we are alive!

It was always about you.
Happiness is something we always look for in other places, but the above post explains it.  We need to find the joy within. 
Thank you Heartly Simple
Yes I am!  Each of us are... one step, one thought at a time.
Have a wonderful day this beautiful Friday!

 Never lose hope.

That is so true, we never know what tomorrow will bring. May it bring peace, joy and blessings. 
If you want to see more about her Timekeeper series, click on the name below the post... I find her writing peaceful and healing.
Somehow we have to correct this. It multiplies with each generation, from abuse to neglect while we spend time worrying more about what is on the screen in front of us, in what ever form.
Thank you Spirit Trails

Life

We live it forward, but understand it backwards. How true that is. Hindsight is 20/20. 

Spring is fast approaching which means I will be disappearing outside for hours on end. I keep debating how much I want to put in the garden. Just bits of things for me I guess.  I am so used to planting a big garden it just seems like that is what I should do, but don't need it.  But, this also means my time on the net will be more limited. 
The world is another word for society.  Those parts are the hardest to accept because we figure NO one will, but there are people out there who will accept those parts. First you have to accept them yourself. 
And on that note, I am going to accept the fact that I need to get things done, I am way behind, and as life goes, the day awaits.

Holding Space
It reminds me of the saying "I see you..." where you are telling the person you see more than just their outside looks. You see within them, and accept all and more. But to hold space for others, that is something that goes beyond. I am not totally at that place yet. I want to be, but I know that I fall into the control part sometimes... or not manage the unconditional support sometimes. Work in progress I do believe.
It is so frustrating dealing with FB at times. I saw a post this morning and now I cannot find it at all. I thought I had shared the post, can't find it so I guess I didn't. I know it was 2 lines, with a word highlighted in yellow on the second line. Oh well. Perhaps it will come up again.
Enjoy your Tuesday!

Fault/Remedy and Problem/Solution
Thank you Spirit Trails
The fault/remedy refers to people, where I think problem/solution refers to things.  But the bottom line is the same. Instead of looking at all that is wrong, start looking at all that is right and when finding something wrong, figure out how to have a remedy or solution... instead of being negative. 
Thank you Spirit Trails
That goes for what I was talking about above. When we let go of the looking for problems and instead find solutions, we become more positive. Better things follow!
Thank you Susan Gale Quotes
May you all have a beautiful Monday, regardless of your weather!
