S E R E N E... a state that we all want to incorporate a little more of in our lives. We strive to capture and hold onto glimpses of it. When all is right with the world. Worries have dissipated and nothing but peace remains. Sometimes it just comes unexpectedly; and sometimes we need to create the circumstance and be in a particular environment with chosen people to invite it in. However is happens, we wish you all a bit of this allusive stuff that causes you to exhale, close your eyes and softly smile.
