Peace is my most treasured virtue.  Growing up as an introvert, I enjoyed time alone and would happily sit in a corner reading a book while everyone else was playing.  I didn't realize how much I valued my peace until I lost it.  Now, I defend it with everything within me. Out with negative thoughts, negative people, negative news, TV shows that assault the mind and any other avoidable intrusions.  Peace = happiness.  If peace is like a river, may it flow into the ocean of our souls.
