calm in your heart.


it's a gray, rainy day in boston, and i'm sitting here with my mug of coffee, feeling very contemplative. so, instead of waxing poetically, i'm going to share this great quote with you:

peace: it does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work. in means to be in the midst of those things, and still be calm in your heart. -unknown

so, tell me, what's your mood today? peaceful? introspective? joyful?

    It's a rainy day in Portland today and I'm feeling tired (and as a result, unproductive). I want to snuggle up on my couch and read a book...

    That's a beautiful quote! My mood is ....anxious and stressed! The end of the semester is approaching and I hadn't realized how much I have to do until I sat down this morning to make a list! I'll try to apply this quote and calm myself :)

    It's sunny, but cold in Cincinnati today. My mood is a bit annoyed. I'm longing to have some time to myself. To be creative. To blog. To take care of little things, like cleaning. I know it sounds selfish, but I'm craving some "me time." I want to cross off all the "have to" things on my list so I can get to the "want to" things!

    It's the first of the winter-y weather days of Northern Alabama and I'm soaking in the joy they bring before they become too familiar to appreciate.
    Love that quote! Thanks for sharing (:

    This is one of my favorite quotations. Each and every time I read it there still is something so profound and thought provoking about it.
