Zen... a Good and Positive Thing



Sometimes life gets difficult for whatever reason... monetary, emotional, could be anything, it's personal. Still, even the simplest of zen moments can be beneficial, even therapeutic on a mental level to help strengthen the will.

In our simple life, sweet hubbie and I live in a simple abode (trailer) which means that, in a small home, we make the most of what we have. This brings me to my latest new use of a portion of our cozy little space.

Our lil bathroom. Yes it has its obvious functions, however there are others as well. Not only is it the warmest room in our 'house', but also serves as the perfect setting for a predawn zen moment or even a legitimate meditation. These early hours are quiet, dark and peaceful. I allow myself a slight cranking of the furnace, light a couple candles, and focus on those welcome flames for a few moments to calm that agitated spirit ousted me out of bed. After a bit of wrestling with my inner demons, my center regains. I am gradually able to get my thoughts in alignment once more and be ready for the day's challenges.
