Peace in the Moment / by Beth Anne Booth

It’s not often I catch a sunset like this one. I took this first picture the day after Christmas, after the steady but swift build up of holiday hype and joy that inevitably comes crashing down a day or so after. Now, I find myself in a sort of purgatory between Christmas and New Years Eve. Feelings kept at a simmer, with hopes of more celebration and feel good feelings…

Things are obviously different this year, but it’s moments when I take a second to admire the sky in all its glory that I feel peace and comfort. The weight that I typically carry is lifted, and I feel the presence of something greater than me. What a relief it is to know I am guided and taken care of, whether I believe it or not.

This second snap is of this morning’s sky. I was with Eva in the kitchen and caught a glimpse of nothing short of spectacular. Eva and I went outside and I captured the moment. Admiring the silhouette of the trees and brilliance of the sky. It lasted all but a second, but it’s what carried me throughout the day.
Sending blessing to all as we approach the New Year. May you find Peace and carry it with you on this day and all days that follow.
