Peace and Joy

i woke up again today with the overwhelming feeling of anxiety. realizing this, i knew that the best thing for me to do was to have some time of stillness. so, i did. of course, i still had to go to the appointments that were already scheduled for the day, but i was able to spend much of the day reading, journaling, praying, and playing with piper! yay! i also took a hike up to mt. rubidoux to get some time sitting at the foot of the cross (literally). there is a huge rock by the cross that i love to go to. it is my serene place that overlooks riverside. my day, which began with anxiety, ended up being a day of peace and joy!
