It's only about 7:15am on this beautiful Sunday morning and already I have found an abundance of peace.  Awakening too early for a Sunday morning, my bigredretriever, Blaze, decided he wanted up (and out), too.  Walking out into the darkness of the backyard, we were greeted by a beautiful sky filled with stars and a crescent moon.  My grandkitty, Roxy, overly affectionate in the morning, awaited my rising with lots of words and a warm belly to rub.  As if to match the morning moon, a fresh, unopened bag of Crescent Moon coffee, straight from the roaster (who happens to be a cousin) sat beside my coffee maker, waiting to be brewed.  Reading several chapters from my current choice of books, Have a little Faith, by Mitch Albom, gave me pause to think about where I find faith--and peace. 

Now the sun is up and my house is still.   I am drinking coffee from the beautiful cup Derek brought me back from Japan.  By reserving it for the weekends, it makes the cup even more special.   I have faith that I am exactly where I am supposed to be at this moment in time.  This thought alone brings me all the peace I need.  

Robert Fulghum said " Peace is not something you wish for;  it's something you make, something you do, something you are, something you give away".

Amidst the stress of our world and the stress of the season, I encourage you to STOP and find your inner peace.  No matter your situation, I promise you it's right where you are.  Have a superb Sunday.
