What Gives You Peace?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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