PEACE - What a seemingly simple, non-complex word that fills my heart with joy. To live in peace, to have peace, to be at peace.
Thank you so much for sharing your generous and gracious comments on the blog posts and the pictures. This one almost was not shared - it was viewed with flaws and lacking perfection. That is what charmed me most - as we fast approach Christmas Day.
I am taking steps to celebrate flaws and the imperfections in people and things. Perhaps that is what it will take for each and every person to be able to celebrate peace, live in and be surrounded by peace.
My wish for everyone the world around is that each person will begin and take steps to surround themselves to live in peace. It will mean different things to different people. That, too, is what I treasure most - differences. Perhaps that could be a place to start - to appreciate rather than the want to disparage differences. Celebrate differences and allow the candle of Peace to shine brightly.
Happy Holidays - Season's Greetings - and MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!

Hi Susan Liz of NY---love your post and isn't it a nice feeling when we finaly are living in peace.
My daughter who is 8 yrs old was hit by a car while walking to school all the week before Christmas and it's the unknown that sets in and thanks for this post as it has brought me back to center. Our daughter is still in the hospital and will need quite a bit of rehab then once she comes home we will have our Christmas with her.
Your words are so soothing and calm and thank you for them.
Your friends picture is remarkable a crisp blue sky day with a snow covered ground with foot prints it reminds of of the passage of the the bible of foot prints as all you really see is one set of them. You eyes can travel through this picture through eternity and I have been able to place myself in the picture and seeing everything that it has to offer.
How true wipe the slate clean as my husband and I were angry at the person that hit our daughter yet we gave it up to God and has placed peace on our hearts and wiping the slate clean meaning God took away that anger and we have the joy inside us and we still have our child.
Keep up the great work on your writing and look forward to the next picture and please let us know if the pictures are up for viewing somewhere.
God Bless
