30 Days of Gratitude. Day 11

We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures
*********
I promise to make up the last few days that I have not written on here. I am still without a computer, but I am writing each day down the "old fashioned way"...you know, with a pen and paper! Today I am grateful for the little moments of silence. When I was younger, I couldn't understand why my mom didn't like to blare music all the time like I did. It seemed so strange to me that she didn't like the noise. She always said she enjoyed the silence when she was alone. I didn't "get it". OH HOW I GET IT NOW!! I had the chance today to go in my room and lock the door and just think for a minute about all that I have. Nobody bothered me. Nobody screamed or fought or got hurt. The phone didn't ring. And it was LOVELY.

Now that it is too quiet most of the time at our house,I keep the radio on in the car and the TV or music on at home. Oh, how things have changed. Love you lots!

I'm STILL enjoying silence. Although I actually listened to the radio this week. Then I went back to the De-stressing CD Kim and Brindy gave me for Mother's day.

Silence is still golden.

Love, Jane
