Find your oasis

It’s not a mirage. It’s not something distant or vague. Your oasis is as real and necessary as is a glass of water when you’re thirsty or a hug when you’re feeling low. Traditionally, an oasis is a fertile place in a desert. You can recognize it because there’s some sort of vegetation, signifying an underground stream. Your personal oasis is like a watering hole in your daily life. You can’t travel forever without pausing for refreshment and camaraderie. Your oasis is essential for replenishment. You can recognize it because it gives you a feeling of peace. It gives you space and time to breathe deeply and gather your strength so you can continue your journey. Your oasis is as essential to your well-being as are goals and accomplishments. It dwells within you and you can visit and rest there any time you want.
