As you know, I'm travelling across the blogosphere for Blog Blast for Peace today.
Not only that, I'm in the thick of NaNoWriMo.
So on Tuesday I mentioned to my friend Tracy at work that I hoped I'd be able to put together my Peace Globe the way I was hoping to, because I also had a choir rehearsal just to make things interesting.
Tracy, being the marvellous friend that she is, offered to make me a back-up Peace Globe in case I ran into trouble with my own. This is the one she made for me - I love it!
For today's Thursday Thirteen, in honor of Blog Blast for Peace, here are thirteen ways to say Peace:
1 - Fred - Swedish
2 - Mir - Russian
3 - Der Frieden - German
4 - La Paix - French
5 - Pace - Italian
6 - Shaanti - Hindi
7 - Salam - Arabic
8 - Shalom - Hebrew
9 - Tai Ping - Chinese
10 - Ukuthula - Zulu
11 - Aio - Maori (indigenous people of New Zealand)
12 - Wôntôkóde - Mi'kmaq (the First Nations people of eastern Canada)
13 - Sìth - Gaelic

I love her globe! One of these years, I'll figure out how to do graphics and make a globe of my own.
Yep, that's the only reason I've never joined in.
Kapayapaan - that's how we say it in Tagalog, my country's (Philippines) native language. :)
Peace to you and to your love ones. :)
That's very cool. Peace from New Zealand.
Peace be to you and everyone, Julia!

A brilliant idea. Pace.
