I've felt inner peace as I've thought about some of the decisions I've made this past year, knowing that while not everyone approved, they were the decisions that were the absolute best for me at that moment in time.
I've made peace with some situations that are beyond my control, knowing that letting go while still putting one foot in front of the other is a victory in its own way, it brings a serenity that heals my broken spirit in numerous ways making me feel whole again.
I am at peace with myself when I realize its perfectly ok that I didn't accomplish everything I've set out to do, that sometimes life gets in the way and happens faster than any one of us can even realize.

Peace is my wish for you this holiday season. "May Peace be your gift at Christmas and your blessing all year through!" ~Author Unknown

Sitting in the dark looking at lights always brings me peace too. There's something so hopeful about Christmas lights.

Those kind of revelations are the moments you will always come back to.

Lovely post - as I've said in recent comments, I have been searching for a sense of peace. I definitely felt it when I was home. It was just nice to have some time away from the hustle & bustle of my life here & just enjoy time with family. Totally reminded me of what is most important in life!!
I'll take some, thanks! ;-)
