Peace

Today was what is called "black Friday", a day of retail sales and marketing which marks a day that stores move into the black as far as sales. I consider it as a day to avoid going shopping! I prefer to go into a store, buy what I need and leave, a process I call "buying not shopping". That sounds trivial, but I choose to participate in activities that do not disturb the peace within that I feel. I recall a comment by God in one of Walsch’s books "If you believe the noises of the world rather than the silences of your soul, you will be lost."
