Peace – You Capture

September 1, 2011 by Elaine

We all find peace in different places and different ways.  Sometimes it’s just lying in the bathtub having a good soak while reading a favorite book.

Or maybe it’s while lounging in a beach chair with waves crashing and a fruity drink with a straw, ready for drinking.

Or perhaps during a nice yoga session.

I don’t get these kinds of peaceful moments in my life very often these days.

I do find some moments of peace though.

Especially if it’s during the day, while The B Man is at school, Baby K is napping and I’ve given in to Little G’s requests (they are MANY) to play Angry Birds on my phone…

Hey, I’ll take it where I can get it.

Hope you all find some peace today….

    Oh those sweet little toes.

    I found peace today on a jogging trail. I’m no you, that’s for sure, but it felt so good. XO

    Yes, Angry Birds bring peace … It’s one of the great ironies of our technological society! =>

    Reason 472 I need an iPhone 🙁

    I never realized the real value of peace & quiet until I had kids, and it was so hard to find!

    We take it where we can get it, right? I haven’t ever played Angry Birds, but I find it funny that there are so many little kids who are so good at it. 🙂

    Oh my goodness, yay! I’m not the only mom who finds her peace when she gives her six year old her iphone to play Angry Birds? Or hands the three year old the ipad to watch Home Alone videos? Woohoo! 😉

    Aw, look at his sweet little boy feet. I don’t know how baby/toddler/little kid feet can be so cute, and turn so nasty so fast.
