If I ever had a doubt.......

Yesterday our drive home was rough......we had to drive through over 500 miles of the trip in blinding rain......it made for a long day......kids were great....they just relaxed and rode with me.....I was proud of them because it took almost 14 hours.......and my parents drove their car, and we were all grateful to make it home safe and sound.......so I ended up having a lot of time in my head yesterday.....and recently I have had a few situations in my life come up......and they come laden with intense emotion and I found myself struggling to find my center......to rise above it and not sink........I had pretend conversations in my head, or conjecture play in my mind, none of which were going to benefit anybody, and I just found myself stuck in these circumstances......going round and round......and I realized that one of the things I was unable to do while we were on vacation was meditate......I was able to maintain my workout but didn't find a quiet spot to meditate, and well if I ever had a doubt the impact it holds.....that doubt has been shattered......As I thought of all that stuff I realized that I was missing feeling centered and balanced......to find the place where I can face whatever comes with peace in my heart and feel that peace move through me......it is like magic truly......being still in meditation even for a small amount of time makes all the difference.....and I realized as my mind swirled in its busyness, and churned in the chaos of the feelings as I drove that I needed to meditate......to help quiet the swirl......help it settle and find my center again.......it was profound to realize how powerful it has been........that is always the way huh? It sometimes takes the absence of something for us to realize more about what it is to us......either good or bad......and this is no different.......meditation is a powerful tool we have as humans.......it truly is.......it helps us in nearly every way achieve the balance we so desperately need in a chaotic world......and helps us turn our faces to those things we need to.......and gives us the energy to endure whatever comes and clears our head.......helps quiet the chatter and the noise........leaving this calm space to hear and follow our intuition.........I enjoyed part of the ride too, just listening to my tunes.......but I was keenly aware of the turmoil that was churning in my head, and it became very clear that that was what it was, as I haven't had that happen in a really long time.......so as I type this I am in my favorite chair in my living room......excited to be home.......home sweet home.......and looking forward to meditating this morning and regaining my center in it all.......Namaste:-)
