I agree with nic.

One instance I found peaceful, may create stress for some one else. About 3 days ago when I was feeling really $hitty, our town had a huge storm come through. I was looking out my picture glass window and had the door open. I felt the wind blowing and seen the sky turning dark. The clouds were flying by fast, some were white and some were gray. I seen the sun get covered by the variety of clouds then I heard thunder and seen a bright streak of lightning in the sky.

In this whole 5 minutes of watching this storm I was in a total state of peace. I was in the present moment not thinking about anything other than the storm, and watched it in amazement. It was like I seen a storm for the first time in my life.

In the past, a storm was just another nuisance that I would complain about. I learned to slow down and look at things in a different perspective. It doesn't happen over night, but as I have learned to do this, I'm finding it's happening more and more with different things.

It's amazing how the little things can add up over a period of time.

Take care
