Peace

Peace.  I am sure that one word has different meanings and brings very different mental images for all of us.  As we enter this Holiday season I am sure we are hearing that word even more than usual.

But think about it for a moment.  What does Peace really mean to you?  Where or how do you find it?  When you do find it, how does it help you?

I thought a lot about it last week as I had some time off from work and was able to enjoy one of the ways I find Peace, spending time sitting alone in the woods while telling everyone I was hunting.  Hours of nothing but the sounds of nature, alone with my thoughts and time to reflect on what happened in my life this year, what I needed to work on and my many blessings.

I know we will all be bombarded with the year end countdowns of songs, movies, what celebrities passed, who made news in 2010 over the coming weeks.  Take some Peace time, wherever and however you find it.  Reflect on you.  Are you a better person today than 1 year ago?  What do you want to accomplish in 2011?  Peace, a powerful thing.
