Quote of the Week

Photo Credit:  Jannie Funster

This picture was taken by my friend, Jannie Funster, a fellow blogger.  I thought it would be a perfect fit for my Quote of the Week, so I asked permission to use her photo.

In case it's hard to read in the picture, here is the text.
Peace.  It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work.  It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart- unknown
Peace is not where you are or what is going on around you, and it isn't in your mind, peace is a state of the heart.  When you have achieved this, you can be at peace anywhere.

  8. I think I need to tattoo that someplace as a reminder! Lately, I have been feeling very peaceful (the new job is going smashingly well) and I realized how long it's been since I felt this way. Great quote Linda!

  9. Nicky- It is indeed a beautiful quote, and one we should think about and take to heart regularly.

    I am glad your peaceful feeling has returned, and that your new job is going well. It is hard to be in a job that just isn't a good fit.
