Last year I made peace pinwheels. This year I hung out an Earth flag, which is a sign of peace. There are many things you can do, too!

"A Peace Day event can be as simple as lighting a candle or meditate on Peace on September 21. It can be as complex as organizing a Peace Concert for thousands of people. In between, there is a whole scale of events on different levels that might fit your family, group, class, or community.
Be seen. Be visible. Let the world know you care about peace."
If you don't or can't do anything today, it's never to early to start planning for next year!

How I long for my girls to grow up in a world at peace! Do you think it's possible?!
Actually, I don't really think it's possible. But even if recognizing the chance changes a few people, a few attitudes, it's a good thing. Even if we are more intentional about our anger and "violent" reactions while driving or at the grocery store, it's a good thing. And who knows? Maybe someday the rulers of the world will figure out how to solve things peacefully. There is always hope.
