Silence

Today I am grateful for silence. I have come to treasure the fact that if I want to I can come home to silence. I don't have to turn on the TV, the radio, or listen to anyone talk. I can have quietif I want it.

I do turn the television on a lot and I will have the radio going at times. When I clean house, the radio is blaring out 70's tunes. But tonight I'm tired and I'm kind of cranky. I think I feel funky because of what I ate when I went to the State Fair yesterday. So tonight I have quiet -- peaceful, so relaxing and so soothing.

I am grateful for silence. (now if I could only get the dog to stop barking at phantom sounds from the neighborhood........)
