Leaving Stress Behind

~ Patricia Fagan ~ 2 Comments

Distractions at my job and I am feeling stressed

Venting to a friend

to move from this mess

trying to turn things around

I said all I can say

no compromise as they lack understanding

who made them that way

feeling lost

in a cycle of  nonsense and confusion

saddened by the turn of events

seeking guidance and comfort

from my God above

as he said in his word

in Psalm 138:7

Though I walk in the midst of trouble,

You will revive me..

changing, moving forward

leaving the stress behind and alone

Changing to a life of less complacency

and always thinking towards a better reality

The only sound I can hear in the distance are the birds singing their sweet melodies outside my window in the morning and at night, it’s the sounds of the crickets and nocturnal animals. It is not perfect but I try to meditate with very little distractions which sets a tranquil mood.

Happiness is like an Ocean

always changing, never remaining

exactly the same

wave after wave

It’s never constant and shifts in different directions

when and how it chooses

and then there is a calmness as you look out at it’s surface Continue reading “THE HAPP-IN-NESS CONTINUES” →

CAPTURING THE MOMENT

~ Patricia Fagan ~ 2 Comments

P1030200I sat quietly on a bench with my dog biscuit besides me in the middle of the afternoon. My spirit was longing to connect to that which surrounds me in harmony. Gazing at a pristine lake, a slight breeze gently blowing across my face, I look on in wonder and amazement at God’s creation.   My focus is not on the people passing by or the cars rushing in either direction as I am capturing the moment that lies before me. I feel like I am in another world, away from the busyness of life, captivating the Continue reading “CAPTURING THE MOMENT” →
