Silence

This weekend I had a good dose of silence. I am one of those that is easily startled by loud noises and get overwhelmed with too many electronic devices simultaneously whirring and squawking. In our small household with man and boy (husband and son) thriving on tv and computer and games I forget that I need to make time and space for quiet.
I took a walk and looked at the sky and the flowers. I felt peaceful and content.


I sat in the backyard and watched the sunset.
I chose what I wanted for dinner and watched a movie. I am grateful for this time and I'm glad they're on their way home now because I missed them.
