    She truly is the bane of my existence. And now I can't think of anything peaceful either. I'll be back later.

Until then, the fight for and hording of resources will continue to lead to war.

    And then we laugh like mad at how our upstairs size 2 neighbor can make so much noise walking from one end to the other of her apartment.

    Having the entire family home, especially during nasty weather.

    Being out in nature in an isolated spot with no one else around. Preferably on the beach or in the middle of the woods.

    Being surrounded by a favorite hymn in church.

    Taking a nap on a rainy day.

    Holding and petting my kitty while she purred in my arms with that lazy little smile thingy they get.

    Yikes! Peace involves solitude. I go out and engage with other people for excitement. Peaceful with lots of people around? I don't think so.

    Having a win win situation where all my stakeholders are happy.

    That moment after you have made someone happy.

    So I'll just share my tongue-in-cheek-answer.

    Peace to me is 2 fingers, it's tye-dye fantastic. It's Bob Dylan, it's a softly gurgling creek, a birds chirp, the scamper of a chipmunk. Peace is an ideal to uphold and behold.

    Yellowstone is probably the most peaceful place I've ever been. Sure there's a lot of tourists - but its so easy to find peaceful spots or to tune them out and just enjoy your amazing surroundings.

    *sigh*

    A completely pain free day.

    Knowing how much God loves me.

    Knowing how much my husband loves me.

    Time to myself with a good book or movie and no obligations.

    OMG, now I am all homesick.
