Every week, at the end of my blog, I write: How did you find solace this week? So, for this week, I would appreciate hearing from all of you on those things in your life that may have increased your well-being, brought you comfort, and or gladdened your heart. Here is a recap of my weekly Tuesday blogs—65 to be exact—on how I found solace for over a year now:
Old journals, autumn, the joy of writing
acceptance, taking a nap, publishing Sylvie
eating chocolate cake, cleaning my home
receiving handwritten notes from my loved ones
and
empty spaces, laughter, watching the moon
listening to music, letting go, dancing in the wind
water, slipping my feet
into timeworn moccasins
and
giving thanks, trying something new
a cup of tea
being nobody special
celebrating new beginnings
smelling wildflowers, reveling in a solitary day
and
cross-country skiing lost in daydreams
taking a break from things
being patient, never giving up, eating out
remembering that less is more
and
that color, the sky, truth, and the people in my life
are more precious and more beautiful than
I could ever find words.
The synonyms for solace are many: comfort, support, relief, soothe, console, ease, coziness, wellbeing, security, relaxation, and contentment. Solace will likely have a different meaning to each of you and I look forward to reading about what may have brought you consolation or reassurance this past year. Simply post a comment in the comments section after this blog or find me on Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest, Facebook, or on the contact page on my website http://www.sharonkreider.com.
Here’s to another year of finding solace in all things great and small.
How did you find solace this week?

Solace in returning to my comfort zone after spending time out of it.
Gazing across my favorite lake and listening to the lapping at my feet brings me solace, especially after a swim. After several days camping in the rain, being picked up by good friends for an overnighter in their beautiful country home that included a home cooked meal and much needed showers brought solace to us both. And a year of reading about solace that inspired and instilled my own, has given me much to feel grateful for. Thank you, Sharon, you are a a true friend.
Thank you Karin! Love hearing from you… Here’s to another year of finding solace in all thing great and small.
Comfort zones are wonderful!
