Unwinding is the word I use when I describe the affect the waves and water have had on my stress. That great lump that filled my chest began to loosen with the waves hitting the shore. The wave came in, then went back out. With each one, my heart beat a little slower, more regular and my mind was able to think and work out the solution to the immediate issue.
Find your peaceful place. When life is difficult, close your eyes and escape to that locale that gives you the ability to evaluate and assess. God handed me a key to a house on a canal in Galveston. I went across the road, sat on the beach and began to heal. The couple who provided that time will never know the healing that it provided.
When I couldn't reach the beach, the lake provided the same effect and I was able to hear God's voice and find the path through the mire of red tape, nursing homes, hospitals and watching the ones I loved maneuvering their own path through their circumstances.
Have a wonderful day. Remember, "...these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love." I Corinthians 13:13
