Tranquil - free from or unaffected by disturbing emotions; unagitated; serene; placid: a tranquil life.
On Sunday evening, I sat quietly on a wooden boat dock and gazed out into the horizon. Straight ahead, for as far as the human eye could perceive, silver clouds fought to contain subtle rays of sunlight which still occasionally managed to peak through. Every so often, from the distant background, I could hear the subdued roar of thunder crying out for attention.
As I sat in silent observance of this wonderment we call Mother Nature, I could hear the continuous streaming songs of a nearby running brook. Lake Pleasant seemed virtually undisturbed except for the sporadic movements of a small school of mackerel which inhabited the body of water and tiny specs of drizzle that danced atop the lake's tranquil surface.
At some point during my 74 minute respite, it occurred to me that tranquility costs me nothing yet affords me so much. It's true what they say, you know? Some of the best things in life are free. Today, I encourage you to take time to occasionally tranquilize your lifestyle. You can thank me for the advice later. Be blessed.
