There is something about the bare limbs of a tree against a bleak winter sky that brings me peace.
*Mindfulness of my breath (breathe in peace, breathe out love) Staring into the flickering flame of a fire or candle Driving alone down a desolate road The sound of the ocean A walk in the woods A starry night Silence * http://www.leighb.com/peaceluv.htm |
Last night's Wolf Moon gave me an extreme amount of peace. I felt compelled to stand and watch it as it rose, knowing there there were so many I loved who were seeing it, too, and I felt joined with them...........appreciating the beauty of it........together.

a good woman's lovin
meditation prayer/faith trust music writing fishing walking I've found a lot of ways to find peace. Sometimes it takes all of them to make me at peace though |
walking; birds at the feeder during winter ; green breaking through white ; measured beats of black wings ; cogs ; instrumental pieces ; & a beautiful disclaimer

owning my own shit. I cant pass it off to others because it clings to me like saran wrap. So unless I can really see it, own it, and correct it, I am always going to end up in a tangled mess...with no peace.... and no matter where you go, there you are...so you cant run to a different local and leave it behind.... peace, like crisis, follows its mother.... |
My faith
Being able to trust Quiet time spent in reflection |
What gives me peace
*Listening to the rain hit my roof;
*Being outside while it is snowing and the defining silence; *Meditating; *Praying; *Participating in Church, and related social activities in feeding the poor, homeless, and children; *Caring for animals, and loving them. |
Peace for Just Today
I am living one day at a time. For today I am focusing in on what makes me happy, and gives me inner peace and joy. That comes from my faith. I have meditated, and prayed. I am going to continue thru-out the day to say my prayers for peace, and to forgive others who have caused me grief and pain. I know all will be well.

I soooo needed this thread... Thank you!
Sunsets, walking at the lake (very secluded and nothing but nature around), visiting Boiling Springs PA and feeding the swans, thinking of my first 8 years of life with my "Little G'ma" and how special she was/is to me, going to visit my youngest son's grave...way out in the beautiful country with views of the mountains all around...to talk to him and meditate, taking road trips to beautiful places like Columcille Megalith Park (in Bangor PA, see pics below...), my old fashioned photography... and my puppies... :dog::dog:

Listening to the oceans waves roll in and out...
My cats purring The Spa at the Borgata in Atlantic City...Just awesome. Mint hot chocolate. My feet rubbed with lavender foot cream Scented Candles and watching the flame Fireplaces light, warmth and crackles The smell and sound of the rain on freshly cut grass Picnics in the woods |
Truer words could never be spoken, I too choose peace.:praying:

I haven’t felt peaceful for the last few days. I’ve felt crushed by anxiety about work, and more importantly, by several serious health issue with my dogs. I’ve been spiraling down in anxiety almost to the point of panic.
When that happens, it can be so difficult to regain your footing. So, sometimes it comes down to the most basic things for me: *Get a good night sleep (I mean, go to bed early, and try for 8-9 hours) *Eat a healthy meal with whole grains & veggies (when I’m stressed I crave junk food that doesn’t involve cooking, but that just causes more stress in the body, which then affects the mind) *Write - get it out of my head and onto the page (or screen) *Pet the dog That’s what I did last night and this morning I woke up feeling so much better! No longer overwhelmed I was able to see what had been there all along but I was blind to it. Hope. With my newly open eyes I stumbled in the Spirit Dancer’s Thread on Native American Spirituality this morning and that is where I found peace today. In the wisdom posted over the last few days. The words were there all along I just had to open myself up to let them in. Like this posted by Spirit Dancer: Like the elephant, we are unconscious of our own strength. When it comes to understanding the power we have to make a difference in our own lives, we might as well be asleep. If you want to make your dreams come true, wake up. Wake up to your own strength. Wake up to the role you play in your own destiny. Wake up to the power you have to choose what you think, do, and say. Or this posted by TIMBERWOLF: Prayer of Renewal Beginnings, fresh and clean, Part of the Sacred Wheel Each morning is a new opportunity, To share our love, our Souls, and Spirits, With those who choose to Walk this Path along with us, To learn the lessons of the Wheel, and grow closer, To The One Who- Created- All. Each day is fresh and unblemished, clean and pure. Look around, Rejoice in the New Beginning, The Sun rises again, our hearts beat within our bodies, We draw fresh Breath, and re-enter the World. Set aside the pain of past days, each day begins afresh, Build upon the past, its lessons and joys, Be strengthened by the love within, Reach out in love to those around us. For each day is a gift, given but once. KiiskeeN'tum- She Who Remembers -Mohawk ************************************************** ************************************************** I hope Spirit Dancer and TIMBERWOLF don’t mind me reposted these, they are just so beautiful. I wanted to thank you for the peace you’re brought me today. |
Today is such a beautiful, sunshiney day! I found peace by closing my eyes, tilting my head back and letting the quiet warmth found in its rays of light wash over me.

Walking on the beach, collecting shells gave me so much peace...life is good! |
staying sober and staying away from that which I cannot control....
|
an ice cream cookie: papa got me a 'friday treat' and i didn't eat it until today.

vanilla candles, rainbows, freshly cut grass, a certain kitten

Peace lies in the knowing......:sparklyheart:
