* Buy some really unique note cards (I’m not crafty). Write an encouraging, caring note to someone going through a tough time or just someone you sense needs a kind word.
Loved reading this Sarah. I do walk a lot. I also began a practice recently of deep breathing the Lords Prayer. Every inhale and exhale I recite a line in my head. It has been very comforting to me. Also, we have a local candy shop and they sell Swedish gummies(amazing), every couple of weeks I treat myself. It’s a small thing I delight in.
I think cultivating and paying attention to delight is so key. Also I really love the idea of Psalms as breath prayers. Thank you for sharing that idea.

Oooooo great additions!! I have been looking for a good reason to buy notecards.
*Game nights with family and/or friends
*Run in the sprinkler with kids (or alone)
*Buy/cut fresh flowers for the table.
What is it about fresh flowers?! (Also I would love to be you neighbor, watching you run through the sprinkler on your own… 😂)
Living in the country has its advantages. 🤣😎
Daily Devotions. Oswald Chambers is my favorite.
* Put on some music and pay attention to the words.
* Read a Psalm out loud
* Choose not to skip church
The Psalms are my go-to part of the Bible when life seems to be spinning. They’ve been a good companion.

I'm new here, but I wrote a poem about it which inspired my first post.
Well, welcome. I’m glad you’re here.
Remember that caffeinated beverages are not nearly hydrating enough.
We need to drink water more often than we realize.
It can make a big difference.
