Peace - Can you feel it?


I've heard so often and read so often that there are certain feelings that cannot be explained and that it just courses through your veins. I always thought (and still think)of myself as one of those people who cannot make sense of abstract things. I have to see things and have to have some tangible factor attached to it. I always had this urge to explain my feelings to people I'm close to; therefore the obsession to give feeling some shape.

Of late, however, I've had this feeling of tranquility and a kind of fulfillment that I am unable to explain. I wake up on a weekend and I'm overwhelmed with joy to be sitting in my garden and reading the paper while I'm enveloped by my small green haven and my two great pals, my pet dogs. I keep looking around my house and feel like I'm blessed with all that is good. I think of my life as it is now and feel like I couldn't have had it better. I'm not sure if I felt this way a year ago. This peace I feel is almost like the sky above my head. I feel it all around me and I catch myself smiling and thanking my stars for what I have. I know I sound bizarre! Frankly, as I said, I can't seem to explain it, but I sure can feel it. I wonder if this just one of those feelings thing that all human beings are used to or if it just a sign of ageing :-)

Whatever it is 'I'm loving it'!
