Finding Peace

Trying to find peace today, amidst a chaotic world.

Fall Blossoms

Created using textures from Nancy Claeys

I thought I'd share some song lyrics - the song came up on my iPod this weekend, they resonated with me and reminded me to be grateful for this beautiful life.

So swim to the end of the river
Until there's no shiver
Left in your spine
Live like there won't be tomorrow
See through your sorrow
See through your own eyes

Try to remember these days down the road and
Try to remember this time

The sun may come up and go down again
I'll still swear it's a beautiful life

Charlotte Martin's "Beautiful Life" from the album, On Your Shore.

    Oooh, it was so awful - I couldn´t sleep until I had reached all those I know in America that I know run marathons from time to time. So heartbreaking. Can´t understand things like that. :-(

    So very pretty but sad -- I just don't know anymore. Every day seems to bring another act of desperation. But life does go on, doesn't it.
