hello my one & only reader. i am in an oh so fantabulistic (real word) mood. would you like to know why? of course you would!
i am filled with joy, because today is wednesday! we all know what that means... tonight is tu-wednesday crafting with the mamas (& the monthly classics book club meeting.) oh joy of joys!
i want you to feel a bit of this happiness, so i thought i would hold a give-away! my first ever official kats in the belfry give-away.
the prezzie is a small bag, with a peace sign embroidered on the front. it's pictured here. i'm sorry i haven't a better photo of it. the bag is made from a pant leg, & has french seams, so the interior is nice & neat.
all you need do is leave me a comment, telling me something that brings you peace. is it a place, a smell, an activity? what brings you peace?
to give my one & only reader in other time zones a chance, i will not choose the winner until i don't know what time friday. yes, i could be more random, watch: i don't know how i'll pick the winner yet. it could be by numbers, i could pull a name out of a fancy top hat, or i could just let thehobbit pick his favorite. we'll see.
i look forward to reading your comments!
~peace. *edited to add: this contest has ended*

what brings me peace is my end of day work out (which i am lucky to have time for just 3 nights a week). i have so many feel good hormones going on afterward and i am so thankful to finally have the chance to focus on keeping myself healthy and well that everthing turns automatically right in my world!
Hmm- what brings me peace... music. Singing especially. And frankly when things are just a little too much to handle a drop or two of motherswort tincture... (a nerve tonic) helps too.
peace is when my dearest husband goes to work.
no interference of schooling, no "comments" about undone housework, no changing up everything else i do.
just peace...
Silence, so I can hear my breath.
Always lovely to read your blog. Hope I win the bag, I could use some more to stuff other bags in....
every morning i take an early morning stroll through my garden, coffee in hand and children blissfully parked in front of the telly.
The brilliant colors of flowers in the sunshine. Watching my kids sleep. Walking to run an errand instead of taking our car. Being in New England. Our dog's face. Snow.
I used to look to things, activities, places and circumstances to bring peace to me and sometimes I would find it temporarily in those things. Now I know that peace and joy are of my choosing in each moment. No matter where I am, who I'm with, the circumstance or condition, all that is required is a shift of perspective, an attitude of gratitude and appreciation and I'm there. Someone once told me that Joy is Peace at play and Peace is Joy at rest. I wish you both always Kat :)
that first morning cup of coffee in a quiet house.....
