Jam Sandwich

I had a recent experience where, after waking up, I made a cup of tea then walked around the house watering the plants. The world felt peaceful and I experienced a deep sense of satisfaction and connection to myself. It only lasted a moment but was very strong and I was surprised How something so simple could give me so much pleasure.

You might consider this dull compared to being “out there living life to the max” but it’s a great reminder to me that happiness is not only found by jamming my day full of activity and experience, it also lies in in creating space for myself to just be.

It also created a little anchor for me to think back to when the world feels anything but peaceful.
