Priorizing Peace of Mind
One of my favorite quotes is: “Choose peace of mind as your greatest priority, and then organize your entire life around it.”
Until recently I thought that having “peace of mind” meant getting all the externals of my life in order.Then I’d live a quiet, peaceful life – with my dog by side – meditating every day.
Lately the externals of my life have been like being swept up in a series of huge tidal waves. How can I find peace of mind when chaos is going on all around me?
The answer is to ask myself what is happening beneath the waves. If I focus my attention there, I find peace.
I can relate to your tidal wave metaphor, Peter. To ask what’s happening beneath the waves… nice. This is helpful. Thank you.
Aloha Peter;
Every mornings I look at real estate web sides to compare our house that is on the market . I saw this so familiar furniture’s at this house and I realized was your house, I saw your blog and fund out of the passing of Linda so sorry to hear of your loss. I. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.
We go to Maui to clean the house once a month , Richard to do business at the sugar plantation.
Give as a call if you ever want to come to Kauai we have peaceful place, an great coffee and tea.

Hi Richard & Giselle,
So lovely to hear from both of you. I so appreciate your thoughtful comments about Linda’s passing. I have since found a new love in my life named Susan, and we are both planning to purchase a home together in Maui Meadows. I have my home in Haiku on the market! As soon as we can get all the craziness of buying/selling 3 homes behind us, Susan and I plan to come to Kauai for a visit. It would be wonderful to see both of you!
Aloha to you and your family. Glad to hear you are all well.
Peter
