Serenity can be Found in Family

The past couple of days have been filled with family, friends, food and celebrating the holiday of Passover.  It's a lot of work, a lot of shopping, prepping, cooking, re-arranging furniture to fit all the people at our sedar, but it's worth very bit of the stress and strain, because sitting at that table I was overwhelmed with the serenity that surged through out my soul.

There is something that happens when family and friends are sitting around a table, praying, conversing and enjoying a long multi course meal that just provides every with serenity.  It also does hurt that I am a fairly good cook, as is my sister (our 2nd sedar was at her house).

I have discovered something about myself these past few months and that is that I must be my best advocate.  I have learned how to put myself first and not cave into the the people that surround me.  So even at my own seder, I tried to keep it going smoothly.  This helps me to maintain my serenity even in times of stress.

In my last blog I asked for suggestions on dealing with the second job situation and I believe now in my heart that I will find the right situation for my best interest.

I will let you know what happens, hopefully next week.

Hope you are having a peaceful and serene Passover and/or Easter.
