In order to get my mind off the horribly nasty woman here at my temp job and her latest bitch-fest attitude (though hopefully I pretty much won't ever have to speak to her again since I no longer have to answer her phone line), I was surfing through px and looking at people's profiles. One asked the question, "how do you find peace?" I thought it would be a good thing to think about and focus on some positive, joyful and happy moments of life. I'm sending them out to some px'ers as random mail joy, but I liked the list I came up with and figured I'd post it here as well.

some simple pleasures, joyful moments and favorite things...
a hot cup of tea on a cool night
my toes digging into the sand as the surf rushes past my ankles
being lost and engrossed in a good book
that soft and warm feeling of being under your covers - esp when you know you can sleep in
snuggling up to my Love, my head on his chest
listening to the sound of the wind through the trees
a thunderstorm at night
the rich smell of a scented candle like vanilla or macintosh
daydreaming (anywhere at anytime)
singing (the way it feels when my voice merges and blends with the music)
driving, windows down, no traffic feeling the speed
the first taste of winter's approach
being enchanted and enthralled in natural beauty - a flower; a sunset; a spray of leaves
my cat purring on my lap, content
cloudwatching
savoring something rich like cheesecake or a chocolate mousse
the clean smell of the air around rushing/falling water
warm sunshine on your face
cookies fresh out of the oven
trying something creative/artistic for the first time and having it work out

What are your simple pleasures and joyful things? Take some time today and think about them. It will really help you feel better and your mood uplifted.

Take care everyone.
