    Thirteen Peaceful Things
    I Consider
    GIFTS FROM GOD



    1.  The sound of running or trickling water in a stream or creek, or even from a fountain.

    2.  Wind that blows through leaves in the trees and makes them rustle.

    3.  A purring cat.

    4.  My husband's breathing (while we sleep, when he sits next to me, etc.).

    5.  A rooster crowing at dawn.

    6.  Pansies growing in the shade of a tree or building.

    7.  Horses running and playing in a pasture.

    8.  The sound of a thunderstorm and very heavy rain.

    9.  My children's faces and relaxed bodies while they are sleeping.

    10.  Birds calling and answering each other from trees and electrical lines.

    11.  A heavy snowfall that covers the bushes and trees, as well as the ground.

    12.  The sound of the ocean waves crashing onto the shore.

    13.  A clear, black night time sky full of bright, twinkling stars.

    There are other things I find peaceful that are more "man made" but are probably, in their own way, gifts to me from God:  Christian music played on a harp, classical music, the sound of my husband arriving home through the front door, our a/c or heat "clicking" on, our home when it's full of guests, the sound of a ticking wind-up clock (I have one in my bathroom and can hear it when it's quiet at night!), a tea kettle's whistle, a fire in the fireplace, the flickering flame from a candle, the sight of a hawk swooping in circles through the sky, chocolate anything (!!!) . . .

  • Nice list!

  • These do sound very relaxing and peaceful.

    RYQ:  I don't know if stickers and sand burrs are the same.  Stickers are like round little things with hard spikes sticking out of them.  They're small, maybe the size of a capital O or a little larger, but they hurt like the dickens.

    And as far as NaNo is concerned, I think the majority of the deal at the website is the word count.  I put up a novel excerpt this morning but I'm a little nervous about people actually *reading* it so I don't know how long I'll keep it up.  I just didn't want people to worry if I didn't blog much this month.

    Have a great day!
