reading with water ebbing and flowing in the background...maybe touching my toes.

JakeTulane 06-10-2011 07:31 PM

French pressed goodness.

A cool breeze coming through the window.

The smell of books in a library.

A knowing silence.

Sharing the same Sun, Moon, and Stars.

An open door to a wonderful future.

Ice cold bottled water.

Driving the truck with the music up loud and no destination.

The cats all stretched out and cooling off.

My niece's laugh.

The hypnosis receiver.

Knowing that tomorrow there is the great likelyhood of more peace to come.

sitting at the beach, or on the beach...seeing the dolphins frolic in multiples....smiles

The beach.
Flying a kite.
The woods.
Her voice (when in a relationship)
Her touch (when in a relationship)
Her presence (when in a relationship)
The quiet dark.

scootebaby 10-03-2011 06:39 PM

something i dont do nearly enough---going to the beach.....just walking up the path to the beach,the sound of the waves i can actually start to feel all the negative crap starting to slip away....sometimes if i let things build up,and dont go for a long time,then usually i have to spend some time there for it to work its magic,but it always works!

also-sometimes-just driving in the car,windows down,music blaring!

DapperButch 10-03-2011 06:45 PM

Walking on a dirt trail in the woods along side a creek with dog in tow. Or biking on a dirt trail in the woods.

Driving with the top down.

Sitting on the beach watching the waves.

A few months ago, I began meditating every morning........I love it!

I meditate with special, quiet and soothing music (no lyrics).
That gives me peace for the rest of my day.

I paint. That gives me massive amounts of peace.

Third, while it has been a difficult task at times, I found that toxic people took away my peace, so I got rid of those who brought toxicity to my life. Easier said than done. But well worth it.

I am peace~filled and happy. LIFE. IS. GOOD!

What gives me peace...
 
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.

T D 10-03-2011 10:18 PM

Just a few
 

Laughter
True, proven, and lasting friendships
Ruby, who cracks me the hell up almost every day
The Kittehs :)
My time alone, love it!


Chancie 10-03-2011 11:20 PM

Right now? Nothing.

Starbuck 10-04-2011 12:06 AM

Staying out of confrontations
Smelling freshly cut grass
Birds chirping in the spring
The right song coming on just at the right time
Being in her arms, looking into those beautiful green eyes
Enjoying "me" time in silence

Kenna 10-04-2011 04:29 AM

Feeling my family members are safe and content.
Recalling all the wonderful times I shared with Gramma D.
Feeding a sweet baby squirrel last night and watching him play and climb till he was tuckered out.

Sweet_Amor_Taino 10-26-2011 08:18 AM

Peace
 
Sitting out on my balcony drinking good coffee and hearing the chimes and feeling the morning breeze.
Morning prayers, chanting my mantras and ringing the bells.
Reading from my Living Buddhism magazines inspirational.
Hot shower.


princessbelle 10-26-2011 08:26 AM

Being tucked in every night :)

Singing. Rocking a baby. Being held by strong arms.

foxyshaman 10-26-2011 09:19 AM

Drumming
Singing
Laughing
Trance work
Soul Retreivals
Rituals

Inked_Trinity 10-26-2011 10:05 AM

Boxing.....it's the only time that my mind is free of clutter and totally focused.

Rockinonahigh 10-26-2011 10:44 AM

Wakeing up is the start of a good day.
Hearing my sons voice and knowing he has grown into a really good person and is happy with his life.
My fur kids never ending crazy stunts,then them falling asleep in my lap or under my feet.
A good hard work out I just finished,the feeling of sweat pouring off me,knowing thats a fue ounces of chub gone for good.
Makeing plands for future events,then knowing im actually going to get there.

Diva 12-16-2011 12:05 PM

Water ~ for this Pisces ~ certainly is a peaceful thing for me (looking at Turtle's photo above!). I even have this great Rainfall sounds ap on my phone....different types of rain (on a window, in a forest, on an umbrella, etc.) and I go to sleep with that peaceful sound! Alas, there are no thunderstorms, but I make do! ;)

The sound of water gives me peace.
Whether is the ap, the ocean, a thunderstorm, or water falling gently over stones in the Nueces River.....all is peaceful for me.



Ryobi 12-16-2011 12:19 PM

I've been finding peace in odd places lately. My current odd place is re-reading books I read when I was a kid. They have a bigger meaning and understanding for me now, yet I find peace.

(when I say kid, I mean 15 to 20ish)

Kobi 12-16-2011 12:37 PM


Silence.

Stop all the noises that are continually bombarding us, and relish the quiet. It is both calming and invigorating.


kittygrrl 12-16-2011 01:08 PM

What gives me peace?

Home..........

Kenna 12-16-2011 05:14 PM

Being able to shed my work clothes at the end of week to put on comfy cozy home clothes .... Peaceful Pond gave me much peace during this hard week...I've had alot of healing to do lately about my mom and Peaceful Pond has helped me meditate ....

JustLovelyJenn 12-16-2011 07:22 PM

I'm finding an unexpected peace in the unconditional love of someone specific in my lie. I think I have been taking it for granted for a while... But I am seeing things more clearly just about now...

Diva 12-17-2011 05:59 AM

There have been times in the past when I had to CHOOSE Peace consciously....physically stop myself from walking a non~peaceful path and choose another direction.

Breathing deeply usually does that for me now.
Instrumentally quiet music, no lyrics, does it for me as well.
If I want to maintain that peace, I find that *I* am the Orchestrator.

Beautifully said! I too have the rainfall app on my phone....I also have a shower or bath to find my inner balance again and go a feed the local Swans. I love thunderstorms and miss living in the tropical countries that had them often. I'm a true Pisces as well! :)

Although I haven't always choosen the most peaceful path to walk in my life, I have peace in knowing that I've grown, experienced and grapped the adventures with both hands and my heart.

Music, especially classical and Maori have always been my constant companions in which I've found my inner peace. My beautiful cats purring is another very peaceful soothing sound. :)

Glenn 12-17-2011 07:29 AM

It gives me peace to know, that I am able to provide for my furkids and I, whatever we may need today, to keep our little family together and safe.

JustLovelyJenn 12-17-2011 10:31 AM

Never before in my life could I say that my "family" gave me peace, the one I was born with can not, or will not accept me for who I am and work hard to change me to what they wish I was....

But, this morning as I wake up, I know that I have built a chosen family who loves me unconditionally. Who want success and happiness for me. Who would sacrifice anything or my well-being, as I would for theirs. I love my family, my true family, and they bring me peace.

MsTinkerbelly 12-17-2011 04:38 PM

I usually find peace easily through the circumstances of the day....but lately not so much. I really need to find it again soon.

Gemme 12-17-2011 07:55 PM

I watch Oskar.

Oskar vs. The Hair Dryer

Shoot....it links back to the original one. Just click on Oskar and watch the series of his videos. He's awesome.

Oskar vs. Christmas


Oskar

He makes me happy.

Queerasfck 12-17-2011 08:00 PM

Knowing I just bought butter.

Diavolo 12-17-2011 08:02 PM

I am at peace at the end of the day when my dogs are actually acting right and choose to be still with me. That is the best.

Sassy 12-17-2011 08:09 PM

A bonfire under a starry winter sky.

TheDreadPirateRoberts 12-20-2011 01:07 AM

knowing i have the unconditional love and support of the people i love...my family, friends...and meditation
