Inner Peace

I think I've got me some of that recently. Perhaps it's a vacation hangover (the good kind), but lately, I'm able to easily able to see the positive, and calm myself in times of stress. It's as if there's an inner happy place that I'm able to visit at will.

I really like that image, as it seems empowering, scalable and repeatable, though perhaps I'm tricking myself. Much like balance in our lives which I think is a temporary condition we're lucky enough to enjoy periodically. In my head balance = riding a bicycle, invariably moving from side to side a little - never without some motion.

I wish I knew the magic key to this feeling, this 'condition', as it's quite a nice state of mind to be in. My job hasn't changed, but is busier, and my personal life hasn't changed materially except perhaps I'm a little closer to achieving some personal goals I'd set for myself. I haven't won the lottery - notably though I've also stopped trying.

Whatever the reasons, and whether it lasts another hour, day or year - I'm grateful for it. It's a little piece of pleasantness in life that has too few of these (not mine, life in general).

So as my belated new years wish, may all of you enjoy feeling contented at a job well done, and awake with a smile, for there are days when indeed life is good.
