🌻 When the Body Aches but the Spirit Feels at Peace

Simply Flava | Saturday Reflection

Despite my body aching from head to toe, my mood is fine. Today feels like the perfect day to rest. My household is under the weather, the cold is sitting heavy outside, and my own pain has decided to tag along.

But even with my grandbaby sniffling and my body protesting, I can still give thanks — for life, for the beauty outside my tower window, and for the calm that fills this space.

I’m mindful of my friend’s heart as she grieves her mother’s passing. When she’s ready, I’ll be here — quietly holding space.

Inside, I feel peaceful and accepting of the shifts happening in my life. They feel right. When you start to understand your real self, you begin to recognize what you truly need in every situation. That’s growth — peeling back the layers and learning your why.

So today, I’ll embrace the stillness. I’ll let my body rest and my mind breathe. Because when you pay attention to yourself, you always know what you need to do for yourself.
