Sunshine on my face
Catching up with friends
Being loved unconditionally
Kitty purrs
Walking along the beach
Lots of laughter and sillyness

DeviantDaddy · 04-19-2012, 02:08 PM

Not sure why but when my loved ones are sleeping soundly for naps on a lazy day. I'm often unable to sleep during the day so I'll be awake and the house incredibly silent. Having them sleeping peacefully in the safety of home just brings me a very profound feeling of utter peace.

Mr Nice Guy · 04-19-2012, 02:21 PM

Music or sitting on the beach.

Leigh · 04-19-2012, 02:54 PM

Friends & family

Letting go of expectations gives me peace.

cinnamongrrl · 04-13-2013, 09:38 PM

Early morning hikes....

Fishing....

Cat Stevens' music...

Yoga

MsTinkerbelly · 04-23-2013, 12:49 PM

When I am up in the early morning hours drinking my coffee and I can hear the loud snores coming from various rooms...I feel peace.

04-23-2013, 01:15 PM

Prayer and step work.

She let go.
Without a thought or a word,
she let go. She let go of the fear.
She let go of the judgments. She
let go of the confluence of
opinions swarming around her
head. She let go of the committee
of indecision within her. She let
go of all the 'right' reasons.
Wholly and completely, without
hesitation or worry, she just let go.

She didn't ask anyone for advice .
She didn't read a book on how to
let go. She didn't search the
scriptures. She just let go. She let
go of all the memories that held
her back. She let go of all the
anxiety that kept her from moving
forward. She let go of the
planning and all of the
calculations about how to
do it just right.

She didn't promise to let go. She
didn't journal about it. She didn't
write the projected date in her
Day-Timer. She made no public
announcement and put no ad in
the paper. She didn't check the
weather report or read her daily
horoscope. She just let go.

She didn't analyze whether she
should let go. She didn't call her
friends to discuss the matter. She
didn't do a five-step Spiritual
Mind Treatment. She didn't call
the prayer line. She didn't utter
one word. She just let go.

No one was around when it
happened. There was no
applause or congratulations. No
one thanked her or praised her.
No one noticed a thing. Like a
leaf falling from a tree, she just
let go. There was no effort. There
was no struggle. It wasn't good
and it wasn't bad. It was what it
was, and it is just that.

In the space of letting go, she let
it all be. A small smile came over
her face. A light breeze blew
through her. And the sun and the
moon shone forevermore.. ♥

Being outside in the middle of the woods. No sounds other than nature

Walking, Swimming and LOUD music.

imperfect_cupcake · 06-16-2013, 03:29 PM

Being single!

I can't take any form of "discussion" these days. I can take low level arguments with mild name calling like you do with your mates, but very earnest, serious, hours long "discussions"? Destroys my peace of mind. Makes me bonkers. Jovial bickering I can take. discussions make me want to open my wrists.

betruetoyoursoul · 12-21-2013, 12:34 AM

The sight, sound and smell of the ocean.....the feeling of petting one of my cats and hearing her purr....staring at the stars so sparkling and bright.... taking in the sight of the mountains that surround me.... hearing the voice of a loved one or close friend..candlelights...bubble baths...music...a good cup of coffee...the sound of laughter esp from a loved one or a friend...taking a moment to reflect on the events etc. that I am grateful for...the sunset never ceases to amaze me...the feeling of a down blanket and/ or a super soft fluffy blanket....the beauty/smell of a flower...

12-21-2013, 07:15 AM

Step work
Cycling
Acceptance of what is
Stringent self-honesty
