Enjoying the Quiet

I love my house in September and October - slightly chilled, sunny (my house has lots of windows) and there is nothing on.
You can hear the sounds of the trees and birds.
The cars driving by on the freeway near my house.
The hammering of the neighbor working on something.
Nothing electronic is turned on except my laptop.
No music. No video games. No TV.
My husband just took my oldest to watch a high school soccer game.
My two youngest are sleeping.

OOOOOhhh ya....sigh.
It is amazing how much peace and relief it is to have this quiet.
It re-energizes me.
Makes the air I breathe flow better through my body.
My shoulders feel lighter.
My brain doesn't feel so full.
Many people don't know but I am a secret introvert.
I need this quiet to rejuvenate my soul from the crazy thing I call my life.
It just makes me feel better.

Then I hear a cry from the baby monitor. Just a bad dream???
Then I hear some babbling.......someone is up.
The quiet was sure nice while it lasted even if it was just 15 minutes. . .now I can take on the world.
Or 3 boys and a husband.
