Calmness

For the first time in four days, the house is quiet. The kids are back at school. Students are back at school. Tom is back at work and I can get some work done here at home. Sometimes I love the quiet. I love my family too and sometimes I like to just listen to their chatter. This morning, it is dreary, wet and cold. Of course it started to rain AFTER my walk. I would have loved to stay in bed and catch some extra zzzs. I would love to just sit and read a book, but it is not meant to be.

Today, I will go visit Deb's parents and Pookie. Pookie has had the stomach flu and I need to check on him. Becca has a choir concert at 2:30. I have already given a violin lesson this morning and I only have two more this afternoon. It feels like such a light load, after the 12 lessons I gave yesterday.

I hope all of you have a chance to catch some stillness and just be.
