What Gives You Peace?

~SweetCheeks~ · 08-15-2015, 10:30 AM

Listening to music in the morning when I wake up.
Looking around at all my blessings
Waking up before the house and just taking some time to enjoy the peace for just a moment.
Being by the water, a lake, ocean, stream
Going exploring in nature
Knowing that God's Got this!

Cultivating simplicity in everything I do brings me the most peace.

In that way, there is always time for enjoyment of all stripes. I probably still have far to go in that regard, but I don't feel in any hurry - just cutting down on the extraneous bit by bit until I arrive there and enjoying the ride in the meantime.

What is very interesting is to observe how unsettling this sort of idea is to so many people. It is approaching time for me to take a wide detour. But please don't ask me what I mean by that because I'm not exactly sure myself yet.

What brings me peace....is revelling in Nature's wonders....the rainbow, the water, the squirrels, rabbits and deer that cross my path on my way to work some days. I get the greatest peace from knowing that I'm cared for and loved.

Family, friends, my partner, nature, music, the beach!

C0LLETTE · 08-16-2015, 12:27 AM

Knowing that I am a better person than those who do not wish me well.

I am most peaceful when I am near the water.

MeditatIon always brings me peace..

Having all my kids home at the same time.

My animals (babies)

Tinkering with my fish tanks
Watching my pond fish in their fishy lives
Long drives in the country or woods
A working horse barn
Painting
Sitting quietly in the woods
Long walks by the ocean
Cooking for friends
Reading with my dogs leaning on me

Being direct and ignoring the bull.

It's a balancing act, but it's one worth mastering.
