Good morning all

I am experiencing some moments of real calm. I haven't felt like this in a long time. I know it won't last (not being negative when I say that, just realistic) but it sure is good to feel like this, even for a short time.

It's an unfamiliar feeling in many ways. Makes me realize just how much of my energy is usually taken up with being in a state of "high alert" and focusing on unpleasant physical and emotional feelings. No wonder I feel frequently exhausted. It IS exhausting to carry so much tension in my body and to use up so many of my resources worrying.

For whatever reason - whether it's the meditation/mindfulness practice, the homeopathic remedies and herbal treatments, or just a new cycle my body is going through - I feel that the "always on guard" switch has been dialed way back for the time being.

(please don't let me jinx myself by saying this!!!) Even if I fall back into worrying this afternoon, I am truly grateful for these moments of real calm.

Wishing you peace and joy in your hearts
