That was truly inspiring @creativemary, thank you. You are certainly on the right path. My daughter is your age and her zest for life makes me younger and peaceful whenever I am with her.
Striving for inner peace, then finding it has been my life's goal. Now that I am retired and living on our farm all I need to do when feeling stressed or sad, I bundle up and walk our homestead, nature is my cure . Life will unfold as it should and embracing all of it, ups and downs, will drive that acceptance and inner peace.
strive to be happy.

Lovely blog.
