The sweet high of endorphins when I'm physically exhausted.

the ocean
hot cocoa w/marshmallows
freedom

Climbing into crisp, clean sheets after a hot shower or bath

On a beautiful day, a clean house with music playing and the windows open with a cool breeze blowing through

Knowing that my loved ones are safe and well

having my bills paid on time, my rent paid on time, having money left over to buy food and medicine, being alone in the quiet times.

Less stress gives me more peace.

Drinking a cold beer and not worrying about anything else

Hiking in the woods...

Rain on the metal roof...

Tea in the early morning hours...

The sunrise and sunset in the mountains...

Hearing from my kids..

My dog..

Yoga...

And numerous other things...

A few things that bring me peace:

Feeling the pull and push of the tide as I walk or sit on the beach

Fishing...anywhere, anytime

Hanging out with my dog, Sadie

Coffee on the patio overlooking the pond

Walking in the woods

Doing a little gardening

Having a clear conscience

deep calming breaths and knowing I stand by my choices.

integrity gives me peace.

enjoying a wonderful book by firelight

.... Knowing my family and friends are safe and that they know that they are loved, the sunset, the stars in the sky, walking along the beach and taking in the smells, the sights, the feel of the waves over my feet, yoga, practicing staying in the moment, soaking in a bathtub, with candles, and music playing, laughter , sharing time with family and friends , a massage, the mountain sights on my drive home from work, cuddles and snuggles, my definition of good music which covers many genres, writing , drawing and so much more....

Today, I found peace in being appreciated.

Today, my peace is coming home and cuddling with my pups after spending a hard day at work.

Watching her drift off.

i find peace in....

Silence.....in watching the sun go down.....watching it rain.....the dark clouds and the smell of rain.....I find peace waking up in the middle of the night....feeling my dog cuddled next to me. I find peace in exhaling a deep sigh and feeling the stress of the moment melt away. I used to find peace in her eyes...now i find peace within myself.

Seeing the sun rise
Listening to jazz
My living space
Grass
Reading, watching, or listening to James Baldwin
Brushing and petting dogs or horses
Being near an ocean, river, or lake
A good game of chess
Erotica
Making soap
A full tank of gas
Children’s laughter
Creating a visioning board
Growing older
Accepting my imperfections

Peace
 

I find peace at my little ranch with my lady, the wildlife, and my cats.

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.

Peace
 

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

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

when all else fails ...music....

What gives me peace ... trees.

putting my phone on silent:hk9:

...silence...wind/breeze...being near water...family & those I consider family...having that thought of confidence on the good things that rest ahead of me...knowing that Im loved, trusted by many...wisdom...

Forgot one
 

Having all my bills paid with money left over

Being direct and ignoring the bull.

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

Thinking about our place in the universe; our insignificance in the scheme of things.

Also, listening to music. :cheesy:

Spending quiet time in the woods listening to the sounds of tranquility - the wind in the trees, the birds singing, the insects buzzing, and the water burbling over the rocks.

Painting and art journaling.

Love and War
 

Now that summer is going,it's the memories that bring me peace.Damn,there's Vegas and Mexico yet *snort*

It's also jumping in my van and driving far far away..if I could drive into the next world I would...my time,my space,being alone,I need it..of course life goes on and I make everyday count.I help me and others have a good existence..because one day,this will all be gone.But until that day comes,we're here to enjoy life and have some fun
..and always throw in a little danger :shark:

It's my life and..better than a hearse and grave.

Right now I'm searching for my peace...my mind is not quiet and my purpose is undiscovered.

But....sitting with my wife and holding her hand is pretty darn close!

My space. Having space to be on my own, without expectations, quietude, on the my couch with a cup of really nice tea and a book, a picture puzzle, or a logic puzzle. And a purring cat.
