One day…

by The Whimsey Angel, posted in Life Journey

One day you’ll;
🌷stop trying to impress others,
🌷no longer feel the need to win every race or argument,
🌷stop explaining yourself and forcing connections that feel uncomfortable,
🌷realize your peace and your energy is sacred,
🌷stop chasing people and things that are not meant for you,
🌷stop wanting more and be grateful for what you have,
🌷walk away before your soul becomes heavy,
🌷appreciate simple things, like, calm mornings, good people, a good book, the sites and sounds of the natural world, and a life that’s not hurried or rushed.

And when this day arrives, you will bask in the beauty, the wisdom and growth you’ve acquired along the way, and settle into the most comfortable and joyful part of life.

Now, you just have to pick the day.

Simple things

by The Whimsey Angel, posted in Life Journey

Just out here, living my island life, watching waves roll in and out, oohing and awing at big forest trees, wandering along river pathways, watching bugs do their thing, feeling the sun, the wind and the rain, kiss my skin (because this is the West Coast and the weather changes every 20 minutes.😊). And, I love it and I’m really, really, grateful for it🙏.

There’s joy, peace, and healing to be found doing simple things, in ordinary places.

Finding happiness doesn’t have to be so difficult, it’s right there, under your nose, in those simple moments and those little things.

~ It’s not the big stuff

by The Whimsey Angel, posted in Life Journey

It’s not the big stuff that ignites the heart. It’s small acts of kindness, love and compassion;
~a gentle touch,
~a reassuring glance,
~listening without judgment,
~showing up for each other,
~a call asking if they’re okay,
It’s these little bits of goodness we sprinkle over each other’s lives that make life better.

Let’s sprinkle more of the good stuff on this crazy, noisy, old world today! ( and every day)

Simple things~

by The Whimsey Angel, posted in Life Journey

Life’s big beautiful things,
really are the small, simple,
joyful, things🔆.
~a smile from a stranger
~that first sip of coffee in the morning
~watching the sun rise or set
~the quiet that comes with the snowfall
~a lingering hug
~a hand to hold
~a friend to call
~puttering in a garden
~ hearing a baby laugh
~someone who listens
~a thank you
~ a puppy on your lap
~a heartfelt apology
~a walk in the forest
~walking barefoot on the grass
~the smell of fresh lavender
~ a bubble bath
~feeling the wind caress your face,
~waves rolling onto shore
~sitting next to a crackling campfire
~the colours of autumn leaves
~waking up and feeling well
~peanut butter cups 😋

… and so much more.

The best things, the really good things, are the millions of beautiful, simple (often free) things that help get us through the difficult things.

I hope this day, and every day, is filled with simple, beautiful things that offer you comfort and bring you joy.
