What Gives You Peace?

[socialjustice_fsu]

The quietness and peace one can sense in my church sanctuary on a weekday afternoon when the outside world is way too stressed.

Postage stamps that are unique and support something dear to me.

My mother spending the night at my house...those late night conversations and fabulous snacks.

My daughter texting me when it gets late just to make sure I am home and safe.

Any one of my 3 precious cats sleeping in my lap.

Waking only because the sun is shining through my blinds and curtains.

October breezes.

The newspaper being delivered to my door.

Order in my home.

Memories of San Francisco.

Pens in an array of different colors.

The smell of a freshly painted room.

The deep forest.

Understanding pain so I can recognize and dwell in happiness and joy.
