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.

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!

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!

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.

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

Right now? Nothing.

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
