We live in a chaotic and negative world, a world that
has done its’ best to make it hard to see what is good
and safe and beautiful.
It is a world that bombards us with constant
reminders of all that is fearful, untrustworthy, and
truly evil.
Added to this, are the constant daily challenges of physical problems, recurrent financial insecurity, and faltering relationships, etc. No wonder there is rampant negative stress that blinds us to all that is positive in our lives.
Here are a few reminders of good things. Don't miss them...
Overlooked feel good experiences…
---just brushed teeth
---feel good music
---silk scarves
---watching gentleness
---warm, moist face towels
---grilled steak done exactly the way you like it
---casual shoes
---cuddling
---changing into comfortable clothes
---clean hair
---waking up to the smell of coffee brewing
---fresh air and cool breezes
---cool, soft pillows
---candlelight dinner
---warm, soothing shower or bath
---a warm throw blanket just out of the dryer
---a sincere extended hug
---the smell of fresh garlic and onions sautéing in butter
---uplifting music
---fresh garlic and onions sautéing in butter
---cinnamon mixed with brown sugar and melted butter
---seeing kindness by others
