There was a time, I never would've believed this possible, but yes I often can and do find great peace. And, sometimes life tosses oncoming daily stressors, add in perhaps a trigger or trauma related memory, and it's not so peaceful, however, even this is far more manageable these days. And, yes it does pass. And, it seems to pass quicker with good intention and attitude.
I remember yrs. back when I couldn't even imagine peace. And, I use to hear this saying, "This to shall pass," and I thought OM, is this person stupid, full of it, or hoping to manipulate me. I thought then: Nothing ever passes. ... Nothing will ever pass. ... Not this. ... No this cannot pass! Clearly, ...though convinced then, I was mistaken. But, oh' how it can pass and how it does, but for me not magically or without pain, decision, more pain, and continuing honesty and efforts, and my share of work.
So, I can generally maintain the faith that yes, I will usually find a measure of peace in each day. Add up all those days, (sometimes back to back), and it works out well enough.
Hope
