 The simplicity of my day to day. |
Tagging Ẃeβ࿚Ẃỉtcĥ  and StephBee  I was speaking to someone today and the term ‘peace of mind’ arose during the conversation. It led me to thinking, what actually is peace of mind and how can it be achieved? It is of course a state of being, yet as simple as it sounds I wonder how many of us actually live with it. I discussed it with my husband to assess how he was feeling, and asked did he have this elusive state of being. We spoke of times when we had found peace which had lasted more than a fleeting moment. It seems there is always something/ somebody which/who disturbs our equilibrium. My extended period of worry free time was when we took our tiny caravan and travelled to the Kimberley Region of our beautiful country. We were both over sixty and retired from the business we’d had for forty years. We both felt we were too young to retire and while we were in Broome in a caravan park we both took a course at the local Technical College. John achieved his Coxwaines certification and I a certification in tourism. We both joined the local gym and picnicked each evening at the beaches. We lived like that for six months until the impending Wet Season sent us back home to Perth. I loved that time, just the two of us, away from family dramas. There were no mobile phones at that time, or at least we hadn’t found the need for one. So not being able to be contacted, day and night, gave us peace. Perhaps it’s the endless phone calls, texts and emails which are robbing us of the all of the very important ‘Peace of Mind?’ |
