the state or quality of being serene, calm, or tranquil; sereneness.
I've spent the better part of the last 3 years trying to find out what actual serenity is, and maybe even attaining it for a little while. I can tell you that I am closer to knowing its true meaning. I can also tell you that serenity is not what I always thought it would be. For example, although I would like it to be, serenity is not the 4 servings of Twix that I just ate, or the Snickers bar that I ate before that.
Moments of serenity:
- riding my bike downtown on a cool spring day, listening to my favorite plalist of the moment
- taking a yoga class
- shooting black and white film
- eating raspberry sorbet on my porch swing
- making tea and sipping it out of my favorite mug(s)
- laughing with girlfriends over brunch
- going to the farmers market, embracing my inner hippie and buying local produce
You sound happy and I am so glad. :)
