Resting My Brain

Some days it is necessary to be quiet.  Not the hold-your-tongue-when-someone-says-something-stupid quiet, but the I-need-to-rest-my-brain quiet.

When I lived in Florida, I spent a lot of time alone because we were only able to make a few close connections there due to the short duration of our stay and the lack of money to do much of anything.  Now that I am in Indiana and actually go out on the weekends or spend time with people in the evenings, I realize how important it is to set aside a time of silence where I can just BE.

When was the last time you weren’t bombarded with music, television or the Internet?  If it has been over a week, take time today to do it.  It is refreshing.  You might just learn something new about yourself.
