Peace is not the absence of conflict, but the ability to cope with it. Anonymous
As I try to think of the best part of my day the thing that stands out is a few moments of peace sitting in the sanctuary/outdoor living space. A few quiet moments with God. Refreshing and centering.
Another good part was a chat with my neighbor - until she took off like a blue streak remembering that she had a pie in the oven. Diane
Those white Irises are beautiful.A moment here or there during the day to stop and be refreshed is what we all need.
ReplyDeleteLove the white Irises, Diane. SO gorgeous ---and peaceful... Great quote... George and I have 30 minutes of worship together every morning --as we do our daily devotions. That makes the entire day much better!!

You're like me Diane, I love my quiet time in the morning surrounded by nature. It makes the day start in a more pleasant way, and yes, very centering. Love the pictures.
ReplyDeletePeace is not the absence of conflict but the ability to cope with it. WOW! I need to put that under my cap and let it percolate. xobean
ReplyDeleteQuiet moments for contemplation are my most favorite parts of every day. And if someone came over with a homebaked pie, that would be a great moment too. :) Have a good one! Tammy

This picture is magical, love the quote AND the shadow from the flowers cast on the fence look like a fairy with her arm on her knees pondering the thought.. Awesome...Debbie (Maine)

Well the pie was edible as long as you scraped some of the Dutch Apple crumb topping off. Thank heavens i had lowered the cooking temp or I would have been in REAL trouble.
