Christmas was anything but peaceful this year, since we were in the process of moving.  I love to collect new decorations, but this was the only one I bought this year.  And when it was time (past time) to take them down, I decided to leave this one.
Our house is rarely peaceful.  It’s usually full of people, and we are loud people, whether we are happy, sad, or mad.  I like seeing this little reminder each day, and my goal is to learn to be peaceful inside of me, even with all the chaos that surrounds me.
