If I could create an idyllic peaceful day, it would most definitely include a water view. Doesn’t matter if it’s a lake, the ocean, or a river- something about a body of water soothes my soul.

Beyond a gorgeous view, my perfect peaceful day would go a little like this👇🏻

☕️Wake up slow, make a cup of coffee, listen to worship music while making breakfast and then read my Bible.

☀️Get outside- soak up the sun on a beautiful mid 70 degree day, and spend some time on the water- paddleboarding or floating on top of the water on a mat.

📝Open my notebook or computer and write - work on my #peaceamidstanxiety series or perhaps free write and see where the Lord leads me.

⭐️To finish the day, I’d eat a mouthwatering dinner with my hubby or a couple good friends, sip on a bubbly glass of champagne accompanied by a tasty dessert, and admire the stars in a crystal clear sky with a fire crackling next to me.

I think peaceful days can take on all shapes and forms; ask me on another day and perhaps I’d describe something completely different. But, the one piece that wouldn’t change in each scenario would be- an anxiety-free day.

I’m still learning every day about how to quiet my anxious thoughts and endure unwelcome panic attacks when they roll in, but I am so so thankful that because of who God is and how much He loves us, we can find peace right in the midst of anxiety.

What’s one must-have in your idyllic peaceful day? Can you pursue it today? Let’s have a joyful, peaceful day together!
