Life at the Wee Cottage in the Woods.....Our memories can be a garden of delight as well as a garden of pain. Some days we walk through this garden and stop and enjoy those memories that bring us joy...that bring a smile to our hearts. Some days we pause at those moments that are painful...at the memories of things that have hurt us. Together these memories make up the tapestry of our life woven in rich colors as well as subdued colors. The overall effect is of who we are in this journey of life.
The purpose of this blog is to capture the garden of my life with photographs, inspirational quotes, stories of life, recipes of friends and family shared, and my own thoughts. This site is my legacy in my words and photos............. |

Unwind
I unwind in peace and love.
Friday, June 18, 2021
When my day has not gone as I had hoped, I may have faced one challenge after another. Perhaps I was caught in snarled traffic, frustrated by a difficult class, or flustered by a temperamental child. I may want nothing more than to untangle my thoughts and feelings and unwind.
I get comfortable and begin to relax. With each breath, I release the day. I imagine a favorite place: the woods, a stream, the beach. Settling into this place, I imagine songbirds, trickling water, or the tide’s ebb and flow. I feel at one with the rhythm of this place as all else falls away.
I unwind even more as I recall those moments of the day when I gave or received a blessing: a kind word, a smile, a helping hand, a sincere compliment. These sweet memories restore balance and bring peace to my world.
But I have calmed and quieted my soul.—Psalm 131:2
