It’s TTOT time and my theme, which is usually gratitude, is also peace. I selected this photo to one of my peaceful places which is at the ocean. Let us gather at the water and see where this goes.

  1. Water – a necessity of life and an important ingredient for baths.
  2. Winter – chance to get some peaceful sleep, in Heavenly peace, while reenergizing for Spring.
  3. Walking – a wonderful way to clear your head and find some inner peace.
  4. Wishing – without it where would we be? I don’t know about you but my wishes are often what moves me to do what needs to be done, and that brings me peace.
  5. Wandering – have you ever just wandered around with no particular plan? It is a great way to figure out what your happy is and happiness brings peace. Sometimes, I look around the internet in wonder about different things and stumble upon information of value. This is often and most helpful to find things to help me do better.
  6. Windows – sometimes I sit and just look out the window and it brings me peace. This is a frequent occurrence for me.
  7. Working – working on projects and seeing them come close to completion helps me find peace and I wrapped one up yesterday and already see the results.
  8. Winding down – do you set up your night for peaceful sleep? I have to start at about 7 and a usually in bed by 8ish and by then I have done all the things I need to do to get at least some sleep.
  9. Watercoloring – which is what I love to do to bring an inner peace and challenge me to try new things and this happened Thursday.
  10. Welcoming you to join in on TTOT. What’s your thankful? Wally wants to know!
