In life, there a few things which provide one with an abundance of comfort. Simple things, if you catch my meaning. Receiving a letter in the mail, drinking a warm cup of hot chocolate during a blizzard, sleeping in, getting a good grade on a piece of school that has been worked diligently upon. But everyone has something specific that cheers them up and makes them feel at ease.
For me, I love peace. When I say peace I mean being alone, one on one with God. I experience this peace ESPECIALLY when I am out and about in his creation. For example, the weather was just so perfect today that I had to take advantage of it... Haha, it may sound funny to some, but I also love to take walks, by myself.
I mean, there are so many things to do during the day, and when a vast majority of time is taken up on things such as email, text messaging, facebook (for some at least!), peace becomes a very difficult thing to acquire! When I take a walk by myself, time stops. I have no worries, or troubles, I am free to walk about and enjoy God's creation at my leisure.
Being on my own gives me the opportunity to think, uninterrupted. As mentioned in my profile, I love to read and write poetry. Some of my best inspiration has come from simply taking a long walk and considering. What you may ask? Why anything and everything!
I guess what I am trying to say, is that even though today is not yet over, I have lived my life to the fullest.
Leave me a comment describing how or where you find your peace. :)

I found this a WONDERFUL post!!
Thanks, I worried a bit when I posted this because when I write, I speak from my heart. And posting what I feel on the internet is kind of a risky thing... Glad it has your stamp of approval though, Sarah. :)
I agree 100% with Sarah!
To be honest, I find my peace the same way you find yours!!!! I love taking walks and definitely prefer to be alone on them.
The honesty of your writing is appreciated, Jacob!
Thank you (yet again) for reading, Libby. :) I appreciate your constructive comments.
Do you really?? That's really cool that you find your peace the same way!
It's nice because we live more on the outskirts of Mason, and there's a ton of country land to roam about on. :)
I'm pleased that you enjoyed my post!
