Practicing Peace

Did you happen to see my profile picture? It's a picture of our house a little tipped to the side. That's what our lives seem to be like around here most of the time. It's quiet and peaceful right now because all the children are at school and it is my day off. So, it's just me, the dog and the blog. When the other members of this family are here there is never a dull moment! Sigh, what I'd sometimes give for a few dull moments.
The school just called a few minutes ago. I won't say which one of the children is in trouble, but it sort of intruded on my peace for a few minutes. I'm gonna let it go until that particular young'n gets home. I'm practicing peace. Instead of getting upset about that child having ISS (In School Suspension) like I would have in the past I will just look at it as my child learning a valuable life lesson and be thankful for it. Because, what good would it do for me to get upset about it anyway?
I'm going to go take a nap now because what could be more peaceful than that? Hey, I'm getting good at this!
