I was feeling quite peeved this afternoon and hard done by. I sat after lunch to play some mindless game to calm down when I remembered this blog. The author joined the Orthodox church as an adult, like someone else I know. He's a lawyer and runs a small sheep farm in some snowy American state. He often has beautiful photos and I find there is a feeling of peace and calm there.
I found a link to these 55 maxims at Paidiea. I pondered many of them and found a lot of sense in them.
Peevishness disappeared after a few minutes.
Very interesting reading; thanks for sharing.
And yes -- some beautiful photos there indeed. Off to look at some more...

Hope things are now completely calm at your end.
I tend to think about my wonderful overseas trip and the hard done people that I came across (Asia, Ghana, Turkey etc). By the end of that, I'm normally not worried about my things anymore!
