peace

I wish I remembered where I got this image because I'd like to give credit for it where credit is due.

I love this definition of peace and am working towards making this a regular part of my life and heart. It's hard to find peace of any kind, no matter who you are or what your life is like. For me it's something I have to intentionally think about and pursue. My natural tendency is not to be at peace.

When you're raising small children, though, physical peace is especially elusive. And so when I had a few peaceful hours to myself last Sunday night before bed, I made the most of them!

I gathered these...

 

...and took them all to the tub for a hot soak in this...

...and after an hour or two, finally got out and dried off, then covered myself in this...

...wrapped up in this (my favorite blanket)...

...and gave myself a mani/pedi with Essie's 'Wicked'.

It was such a peaceful way to end the weekend, I think I need to make more of a habit of it.
