Right now, my house is perfectly still, amazingly quiet, and
peacefully inviting! Even though only two of us live here, it can get pretty
noisy. The TV is always on – my husband watches all the news outlets plus NCIS
reruns. I like to watch some of my shows, but they’re usually at night. My husband
is also just noisy – he tends to slam, bang, sneeze, crash all day long. I’m
bothered by it – a lot – but my constant pleas get no results other than, “Sorry.”
Yesterday, I was alone when he golfed, and today he’s running errands. Soon,
the little guys will be here, and I think my bigger guys will be here for
dinner. So that means noise, and a lot of it!
For now, I’m going to luxuriate in this quiet place, and I’m
going to savor it. I know, one day I’ll be longing for this commotion, and it
will be gone. However, once in a while it’s nice to just have peace and quiet.
Peace,
Muff

As I write this, the only sound is of rustling palm fronds, the occasional car, and the ringing in my ears which I just pretend are crickets. I've come to crave the silence, though not the reason for it. Unfortunately, the reason creates more forced than chosen silence. But at least I enjoy where I live, the people I do have in my life, and --- let's not forget -- the friends and experiences the Internet facilitates. So things could be a lot worse!
HI MUFF - enjoy your peace and quiet. SInce we moved andmy Sis is rightnext door w/her son there is often noise and so forth - we are adjusting the rhythm one day at a time. Hearing them is both comforting and at times, well, you get my drift. :-)
Love Gail
peace......
I just love those quiet moments.
Sometimes I love it when all I hear is the clock ticking and the refrigerator running. Those times balance so well with the times everybody is home and all moving and talking at once. Enjoy your solitude!!
I need peace and quiet after a lot of commotion. I need a bit of commotion after a lot of peace and quiet!
Judy, I do hope things settle down for you, and you can be at peace.
Gail, I know -- we can be torn between the two extremes.
Olga, Ahhh, I, also!
Muffy, It was enjoyable -- for a short time.
Karen, that says it all!!
