Rach’s Random Thoughts for the Week…

Where Peace can be Found…

Being a beach body – I can’t complain about the weather so far this winter.  Although I wasn’t wearing my swimsuit, I had the opportunity to get outside today and go for a hike.  It was amazing – refreshing and so good for the soul.  Climbing through the woods and taking everything in, I realized how amazing the simple things are.  In true Rachel fashion – I tripped over a log and ended up finding a cool fossil.  Talk about perfecting timing to not pick up my feet :).   Hoping many of you had a moment to get outside and take in the sunshine.

 I was able to spend my first night in my new house last night.  It was amazing to sleep in my own place – in my own bed and just feel somewhat settled.  It has been a crazy few years (remodeling the apartment – trying to find the new me…) and this is one piece that is now falling into place.  Waking up – looking out my window and seeing the bluffs – not hearing renters above me and knowing I get to do this again and again – AMAZING!

On a search to simplify life and find peace in every area – I realized, I often stress myself out trying to accomplish 100 things in a day (I’m sure many of you are the same way.)  So this year – I set a new years resolution (not something I typically do for I feel you should always be trying to better your life).  This year – I will set one goal per day.  I choose one task I want to accomplish for the day and then whatever else gets done is extra.  So – far it has brought me peace.

Before I sign off and leave you for the week, I must say – although all these things have brought me peace – the words “I’m sorry” meant the most to me this weekend and brought peace my way.  All I can say is thank you.

Signing off and hoping all of you have peace this week.

Love - Rach

I can relate regarding to you tripping over the log... Don't get me started on how many things I knock over, trip up on, drop, etc.. Actually, John has started saying that things look like they are literally jumping out of my hands when I am about to clutz out...
