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.

 Life

Life

Life has such a strange way of dealing with us.

It is that, in my belief, not us dealing with it.

We go along thinking we have it altogether, and get blindsided by something we did not expect.

We think we are prepared for everything, and then? Nothing at all.

We have jobs, security, and then? Nothing at all.

We have homes, mates... and then? Nothing at all.

We have our health, mental, physical. And then? Nothing at all.

We have our faith, in relationships, people, God. And then? Nothing at all.

When will we realize life deals with us, not us with life?

We are sure we have it altogether, but in the end? Nothing at all.

I love a good warm rain...
It is supposed to be in the 70's tomorrow and rain. That is the kind of day that is nice to go out and enjoy the rain. It usually does a lot of good for the garden as well. Going out today and work on more of the yard.
How true! We need to change what is on our inside first.
May be all be imperfect at times and go out and feel the rain!
May your Friday be an awesome lead in to the weekend!

Truth vs Lies
That is so true. It just seems too easy to tell the truth so you don't have to remember what you said to whom. Guess not everyone feels that way. Unfortunately I seem to watch listen for those discrepancies. 
Thank you Spirit Trails
I watch people constantly. There is so much you can learn by body language without them saying a word. 

Thank you Perfection is Not Required
Have a wonderful Thursday!!

Competition?
It is always so easy to fall into that trap of feeling you are in a competition with someone for someone's feelings.  It is called by many names, including but not limited to jealousy. For me it comes down to inadequacy in ourselves and a doubting if we are 'good enough' for that other person to have feelings form. Not just for feelings, but in how we look, act, believe, the list goes on and on. 
We have all been there a time or two. 
Thank you Inspired Living.
I watched a series of videos on being empathetic yesterday. Part 3 hit home the hardest for me. She said 'highly sensitive' people tend to overthink things they see, hear, experience.  So true. I can turn a simple thing into a catastrophe. Then totally tank my good mood.  Trying to use my faith to keep my focus, doesn't always work! 
On that note, I hope your Wednesday was/is a good one!

Are you listening?
We often ignore our body. It is tired, we keep going. It is hungry, we eat junk or ignore it. There are so many things our body tries to tell us, but do we listen? 
Thank you Spirit Trails
Again, telling us to listen and respect our body and our minds.
I am tired and am going to bed. My body tells me I have worked outside last 2 days in the yard and it is sore. Rest is needed. So good night. I hope your Tuesday was a good one!

Keep Dancing!
Thank you Spirit Trails
I remember watching Grays Anatomy and their big thing when things went wrong or right was to dance.  They may have had a good idea. I tend to pray... but could do it when dancing!
Don't let the fact it is a Monday stress you out. Just another day. Make it a great one!
