			Time spent in the barn, hugging my horse always gives me peace. He has a way of always making the stress disappear 
		
		
		
		
		
		
			Anytime we go to the beach I always find peace, clear my mind, and get better focused.

Sitting with my discomfort, knowing that I am feeling like I do for a reason and there is something bigger that I need to learn. Knowing that there is always another opportunity to make the necessary changes in order to do and be better. Running.  |

			When I'm sitting at a stationary weight machine and do those first couple sets, and my heart is pounding and I get that first endorphic rush, that brings me peace.

			 - my inner growth, determination and joy within all brings me peace.. The constant work on my self-journey, the hard honesty and the growing confidence.. seeing and feeling my beauty, believing in myself and recognizing my self-worth.. All things that bring me such peace.. And knowing i've a long way to go just yet - but the inner peace is something to cherish and celebrate.. - Buddha.. Having embraced my spirituality, and what a rollercoaster journey it's been in doing so - having such an intense trust, turning to my Higher Power, the meditations, the beauty in the precious moments spent with Buddha, especially these last couple of days - much peace spiritually.. ♥ - being outdoors, at one with nature, enjoying the fresh air.. i love trees, they've such character and beauty.. There is one tree i soo love and visit often.. sometimes i read beneath it, or lay up against it and take in the beauty around me.. i feel a great sense of peace with that willow tree, and it's hanging branches feels like a warm hug.. All trees tell a story to me, i love exploring them, and other things while out hiking trails.. i love rocks too & collect them as they, too, bring me such peace.. Whether they're something special to keep in my pocket, or a smooth surface to paint.. or just to admire the details of it.. they make me smile.. - the love i have with Mtn, Our amazing trust, communication and always being present for one another.. the safe feeling i have when i'm in His arms, His protective nature, and chasing the monsters from under my bed, the warmth and joy i feel in His presence..The happiness in my heart, the flutterbees when i see or hear from Him, and the feel of His touch.. all brings me peace..

			Knowing the future holds new possibilities . 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	Not being in a dead end job. Slow weekend mornings, enjoying homemade blueberry pancakes. Knowing I will have better healthcare with my new benefits. Private time to refuel, reflect and meditate. Knowing I am not alone in this world, that I can reach out to any of a few select friends to help me sort difficult subjects out. Knowing I no longer need to handle everything on my own... knowing they are sincere, honest, loyal and supportive.  |
