Small Successes - Finding Peace

My list of Small Successes for this week are:
1. I filed away some of my paper work at home that has been weighing on my mind. What a relief to get that done!

2. I do not do well with chaotic situations. However, when faced with a stressful and noisy situation this week, I remembered that peace begins with me, so I remained quiet within, praying for peace, and felt myself letting go of the stress.
3. I was writing the other night and had it in my mind how much I wanted to get finished, but I got very sleepy. Instead of pushing myself, I went to bed. For me, that is a BIG small success!

This meme really helps me pay attention to the things I do right! Very good for the self-esteem. T

Wonderful successes this week Colleen, especially #2. It's so hard to find peace within chaos, so when you do, that is definitely a success. Blessings!

Hi Colleen,
Congratulations on your successes!Keeping your peace~not an easy thing to do. And good for you for getting your sleep~it probably made your writing better when you returned to it as well.

Thanks for visiting the blog Colleen! Keeping peace in chaos is quite a feat. Praying the rosary helps me when I'm disturbed. :) Blessings to you and yours...

Munchesmom, thank you for your comment and visit. I need peace but it is not always easy to find! God bless.

Pip, Love your list of successes. Looks like you did a lot of cleaning both inside and out!! God bless.

Karinann, You are right that getting enough sleep probably helps my writing! I will have to remember that! God bless.

Heartfelt, ahhhh, the rosary does work well. Thanks for the reminder. God bless.
