pieces of quiet

6:25 am and it is still quiet in the house -- that doesn't happen too often. I've folded laundry, put on coffee, uploaded some pix, checked work/home email -- in the quiet stillness of the house.

It seems that quiet is something we crave when we don't have it and then one day I've heard houses become 'too quiet' -- after grandkids leave, when kids go off to college, when we lose someone we love...

So for me today, I will look at these pieces of quiet as tiny gifts, that are sprinkled throughout the day. Not necessarily the best part -- but a part of the many gifts I get each day being a mom right smack dab in the middle of this amazing life.
