Silence

Ahhhh...the beautiful sounds of silence. When these rare occurances appear, I find myself tiptoeing throughout the house, keeping all noise-making items on low or mute and making sure no one dares ring my doorbell.

After I settle into this state of bliss, I find my mind wondering. I imagine what my life would be like if I had silence like this on a daily basis. I think about the places I'd travel, the different cuisines I'd try, the fabulous shoes I'd own, and so on. I linger here for as long as I can.

I know I should be doing something productive like cleaning, folding laundry, cooking, trying to find work....but sometimes I just can't bring myself to leave this place of serenity. Why? Because these moments are few and far between. Because I know that these moments will appear less and less as time passes and naps disappear. Because ain't nuthin' wrong with daydreaming!

Don't judge me because I am thinking of my escape. I have friends that can relate. It's what no one ever talks about or warns you about when having children. Silence is divine.
