Though the world can be busy, crowded, and noisy, there are still quiet places where it is easier to slow down, take a deep breath, and just be still. For example, though Naples, Italy was frenetically overwhelming to me even in the off-season, Lake Como stood in stark contrast as an achingly-beautiful, calm oasis.

Whether traveling, or at home, seeking and finding quiet places is essential for mental health. I have found that peace comes most readily when I take the time to reach out to God, to rely on His strength, and to recognize His mercy and grace in my life. Seeing His beautiful creations is one way to feel that peace.

Come back tomorrow to see where in the world we'll visit next!
The good thing about these quiet places is we can find them anywhere.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree more! Even when life is chaotic, we can find inner peace and quiet. Of course, it isn't always easy, but it is possible.
DeleteSuch pretty photos. I've never seen a yellow water lily before - it's lovely. And very serenity inducing.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
