Searching for Quiet: A Quiet House

A friend takes my children to the park for a couple of hours one afternoon and I am left in quiet. The tidying and cleaning I worked on added quiet to my mind and heart, not to mention my home. And, I sat to enjoy lunch in complete quiet. When was the last time you had quiet to yourself and you left it quiet without turning anything on? I could hear the clocks ticking, birds tweeting, the hum of the refrigerator and that was it - the rest: quiet.

Yay for your quiet afternoon! I love the early morning quiet and stillness of my home. It's so energizing as I start my day.

I love to get up early and clean up "last nights mess". Then sit back and have a cup of coffee in the stillness. It's warms my soul.

I love the quietness as well, sometimes its late at night or at 5:00 in the morning and a clean house so my brain can rest.
