12 Step Peace

1. Take the time to think of nothing. 

2. Listen to music or a pleasing something. 

3. Bath in the sun of nature's breast.

4. Laugh at yourself placing angst to rest. 

5. Lift your hands high to meditate in prayer. 

6. Create boundaries to hinder wily despair. 

7. Hold yourself accountable and humble for your wrongs.

8. Minimize guilt and feed your 'strong.' 

9. Seek Love always, for there is no end

10. to the practice of kindness, and being a friend. 

11. Count your blessings for all the unsaid 'gets'.   

12. Find comfort in forgiveness, where true peace is met.
