Make Room For Peace

I had this little book on the shelf for a few years, and never read it. The other night I picked it up and began reading, and it fits quite well, as I was thinking that one of my goals for this year is to try to live a simpler life. In her book, "Keep It Simple" Ellyn Sanna wrote this one section which pretty much hits the nail on the head. It is up to us to make room for peace. It is up to us to say no to some of the "unnecessary" responsibilities. We'll see how the year fares out. Here's trying to keep it simple, as I try to make room for a more peaceful, and simpler life.

Good luck to you with this goal! all of us could benefit from it to a degree I am sure! Nice shot!

[Tessa]

Very Nice.

[Maggiemae]

Lovely words and nicely shot! I do agree with saying no - it leaves the space to sit and do nothing! Except for 365, of course!

Cool

"Peace" is the one word I have chosen to frame and be my lens for 2013. Thanks for sharing this .

I share your philosophical thinking

[Dione Giorgio]

Lovely shot. Peace has to start within our own selves before we pass it on to others. Great story.

[Shirley Banford]

Well said.

Wonderful words...and Henry David Thoreau would agree. He lived simply and believed that "Life was frittered away by detail." It's just not easy to live simply!
