I Choose Peace

I read the headlines of the digital version of the New York Times hurriedly, feeling the stress of ominous words and fear-filled events or dreads. Then I look up, out my bedroom window to the gentle hills, peaceful pond, and soft, early morning light. Once again, I realize my state of mind is my choice. Once again, I choose peace.

ou write it:  Have you noticed the effect the day's news has on you? What do you do to keep your state of mind peaceful?
