At peace

Being that this has been a busy, crazy week at work, I've been thinking about things that made me feel calm and at peace with everything.

The best, most calm day for me was the first morning on a cruise in Alaska.
We were on a small 25 room catamaran-type ship. It was late May. I woke up at 3am. I went up on the top deck and had the place all to myself. The sun was still out since in May it's out about 22 hours a day in AK.
The ship had pulled into a small cove for the night. There was a mother whale and her calf near the entrance to the cove. Some animals were just starting to move around in the woods nearby and since it was so quiet, you could hear everything. I just sat there for 2 hours and enjoyed being by myself, thinking about nothing.
That memory still calms me down whenever things get crazy.

How about you all? What memory to you call up when you need to put a smile on your face and slow yourself down?
