THE ROAD TO TRANQUILITY

THE ROAD TO TRANQUILITY


On the way to my home I turn a sharp corner.  I say sharp because if I didn’t make the turn I would drive right into a barricade.

The special thing about the corner is the sign above the barricade.
It says, “Tranquility” with an arrow pointing toward my home.  Every time I drive by the sign and make the turn I take a deep breath in agreement.  My home is a place of safety, peace and, yes, tranquility.

For years I have called my home the, “House of Zen.” From the moment I enter I am greeted with the serenity of water trickling over slate stones in my water fall. There is no television on the main floor of my home and only the sound of serene music mixes with the water.  The views from my windows are of nature in its glory.  In every corner are items that bring me joy and comfort. My home is my sanctuary.

How does your home create tranquility for you?

When you walk through the threshold do you feel safe? What do you need to do to create calmness and serenity?

You would be surprised as to how the littlest things can make a huge difference.  Think of your senses…. What you see, hear, smell, touch and taste in your home spurs feelings.  



Music, candles, water, fire, flowers, texture….. these are things that can change the entire feel of a home and create a place of tranquility.

Isn’t this the way we should feel as we are entering our private space?

As I turn the corner this in-my-face visual reminds me to leave all my worries, concerns and negative experiences at the corner.

When I turn onto that road to tranquility I am at peace.

I am at home.

Pennie’s Life Lesson:

               peace and tranquility.”

Great story! It is great that you do not take such things for granted. I have moved back to the mountains (from Las Vegas) and the check I try to cash every day is the ability to walk down our country road and watch the sunrise over the mountains. I call it a check because so many that live in this area get the same check but take it for granted and leave it un cashed Best to you!

Keith,
Thank you so much for this note! Yes, it is so easy to take things, (the smallest and largest things) for granted when we pass them every day! I canjust see your sunrise in my mind! My best right back to you!

    There is a certain magic about where I live both physically and spiritually – on the crossroads of Spirit and Brave. 

    It seems appropriate that my writings be found under the sign that locates my life.  I wish for all of you the ability to live in your Spirit to experience a life filled with love and gratitude and be Brave in the learning of your life lessons. 

    Enjoy!
            Pennie
