What does 'peace' mean to you?

What comes to mind when I ask you what 'peace' means to you?

World peace. . .Inner peace. . .Peace on earth. . .Give peace a chance. All of the above?

When I ponder peace these days and what it means to me, I suppose I'm thinking along the lines of 'inner peace'.

I am happy.

I am calm.

I am content.

I am peaceful.

My experiences--my powerful life experiences--have changed me. I have a perspective about my life that I didn't have as recently as a year ago as I grieved the loss of my sister.

That 'perspective'?

  • Don't sweat the small stuff.
  • Savor the moments. 
  • Pick your battles. 
  • You can't change the past. 
  • Avoid negativity. 
  • Focus on the positive. 
It has become quite simple, really. As a result, I found my happy place in this life. I hope you can, too, because Peace is always beautiful (~Walt Whitman). And peace, for me, means happiness.
