Feeling Good!

I am always amazed at how serenity works. So much of the time it is easy to fall into the mindset that, "when life gets better, I will feel better". And in reality, that is not always so. Certainly there are situations in life that can be more draining than others, however, real serenity is truly about how we feel in the moment no matter what is going on.
I have noticed with myself that I am increasingly feeling better and my life situations have not changed at all. It is my perception that has changed and that has made all the difference in the world. I know for me personally getting further away from the recent split with my husband has also made things feel more smooth and "back to normal, although it is a new normal that I am creating at this time.
I really recognize how the best way to deal with life, for me, is to catch the curve balls as best as I can and run with them. Sometimes, when I run with them you would think my head was on fire. And other times it's more a of a sprint or a jog and I hang onto my connection with my higher self and Spirit as my GPS system. Most of the time, I do not know exactly where I am going. I just know that I am going and as long as I keep my contact, I am just creating a new and temporary "normal".
I have come to realize on a new and deeper level that the only thing that is permanent is change. That is the one thing that we can always count on happening in this human experience. I find that it is best to deal with that realization first and everything else seems to fall into place much easier. It takes my need to control out of the equation. I reminds me to release and surrender and to know that change is always happening and always with good reason, and usually reasons I don't understand until a long time after the fact, if at all.
It's not about knowing or understanding. It is about living in the moment, saying yes, being open to giving and receiving love and taking direct guidance from the only real support I have- Source.
I feel that this is how I am feeling serenity at this moment in time. God knows this will pass too and I will then relearn on an even deeper level how to move with the changes that continue to evolve me into who I am here to be.
