We all need a safe place where we can go or something we can do, if only for a moment to breathe. Catching our breath helps us to relieve stress and allows the multiple thoughts in our heads to rest. You may be thinking that you don’t have the time and that life is just meant to be crazy. Or perhaps you are in the middle of deep grieving or suffering from depression and feel like you are just going through the motions and not really living. That is exactly how I felt when my husband of 40 years was diagnosed and passed away from pancreatic cancer all within 8 months. I wasn’t prepared to be a widow at 59 years of age. But how do you ever really prepare for that.
My ‘safe place’ became playing the piano. And even though I have enjoyed playing my entire life, it took on a new and deeper meaning for me. The first few months after his passing I often played the piano for hours in the middle of the night, which was my way of escaping the lonliness.
Now as time has passed on, I turn to my ‘safe place’ and play very often for enjoyment, to breathe, to collect my thoughts and even to feel the gentle whisperings of the Spirit. Those notes I hear as I play have become the songs of my heart, which penetrate deep within me and Lift me to a place where I wish I could always be. I hope that those who hear me play might in some small way feel the peace that I feel. Your safe place might be taking a walk and feeling a gentle breeze on your face, looking at the clouds, reading your favorite novel or just sitting quietly. Take time for yourself each day, if only for a moment or two. You deserve it!!!
My spouse and I stumbled over here different page and thought I might as well check things out. I like what I see so i am just following you. Look forward to going over your web page for a second time.
I’m impressed, I must say. Seldom do I encounter a blog that’s both educative and engaging, and without a doubt, you have hit the nail on the head. The problem is something that not enough people are speaking intelligently about. I’m very happy that I found this in my hunt for something regarding this.
That is a good tip particularly to those fresh to the blogosphere. Simple but very precise information… Appreciate your sharing this one. A must read post!
