What Gives You Peace?

Passionaria · 01-15-2011, 06:57 PM

As of late, what give me peace is the ability to see peoples actions as belonging to them; an expression of who they are, and what lies in their hearts. Even if they call it by my name, does not mean it belongs to me. Kind of like watching an act in a play. When someones behavior is really ugly it brings me peace to be able to see it's just them, showing me who they are.......BOUNDARIES

Dancing around the kitchen cooking for people I love while drinking a nice red wine and listening to good music

I know Y'all are sick and tired of me saying this, but I get a lot of peace from painting.........

It heals me......it calms me......it centers me.......and it gives me joy on a daily basis. <smile>

Being on the lake or river fishing

Walking on the beach, listening to and feeling the pull of the tides as they roll in and back out again.

An ice cream cone

Driving down a long winding dirt road out in the country.

Quite mornings with coffee and hearing my mocking bird in the backyard...so happy with himself.

Sitting on a beach...any beach at sunset by myself. Feeling the warm wind and salt on my lips. That is my grounding spot.

Knowing my family and friends are all ok and doing great.

Job security.

Making plans for more remodeling getting done.

Having a clean house and being able to just rest.

Daddys constant reassuring presence allowing my little girl to be completely free.

Getting out on the road on my Harley, no destination in mind, just feeling the wind against me, free'ing my mind, my soul, just riding to nowhere.
