Inner peace

The daily writing prompt wants to know – What brings you peace?

Last year’s answer called “Finding Peace” is still pretty valid for me.

I’ll add one though. When the wanna be king is nothing more than a bad memory and his voice is not heard from again.

The song I’m listening to now Toulouse Street from the Doobie Brothers is bringing me peace.

Oh, I’ll add this one below. I’ve spent some time on this bridge. I like that many people put these locks of love on the fence. Many inscribed with names and dates. I saw one that was the same anniversary as us, only about 30 years apart if I remember correctly.

Finding Peace

What brings you peace? – The daily prompt is on a roll.

Lots of things thankfully. It balances out the rest of life.

  • The health and happiness of my family.
  • In the arms of my better half.
  • Sitting on the porch with friends watching the sunset.
  • The first and last bite of a cherry ice cream soda.
  • Feeling like I did a good day’s work.
  • Laughter
  • Music
  • My hammock and lounge chair and sunshine
  • Pulling into Ocean City after a 3-hour drive. Throwing the towel on the beach. Listening to the sounds of waves, the warmth of the sand, and working on the tan.
  • to mention a few
