I hardly can admit it. A few years ago I was a shopaholic always trying to find something new to satisfy me. Did it make it happy in the end? No, it didn’t. Certainly not! I divorced and left all I had behind. Nowadays, having no income and not knowing what life has in mind for me I trust on my soul, surrender to its path and flow in the moment now. Embracing what I may experience and who I meet on this enfolding path.
This morning i felt that although life is very insecure, was tear dropping and even the moments I though I would break down I am still there. Baking a bread, doing my dishes and making one jar of jam of the fruits of my own little garden.
Do I long back to those days? I certainly miss some things and the process was grieving, harsh and very painful but I realized doing these “simple things’ in life it gave me more happiness than it used to be as a shopaholic who always wanted more, more and more…
Isn’t that what life is all about? Inner satisfaction, happiness and being aware in the moment what makes you happy…
Love, Irmgard
