Day Fifteen - Silence

Oh, how we always love and miss what we don't have!!

Silence is something I am not often privy to.

There always seems to be some sort of noise around here. Whether it is the teenager and her music. The BoyBun and his stim. And when I can get them to quiet down, it's the cat - that comes meowing in.

When it happens upon me, silence, I am almost lost. I can fill the emptiness quickly. Humming a tune or playing a song or whistling away. But I have learned more, lately, about embracing it. Breathing in it. And breathing it in. This is new for me. And I quite like it.

I have always filled my hands, filled my time, filled my mind. Not sure why. To not wind up the devil's play thing, perhaps. But it has made for a real shortage of silence. One I now take notice of and try to remedy a bit.

If not
only to enjoy the brief periods of actual silence
but
to also enjoy the noise a little bit more.
