I enjoy silence. It helps me recharge. I stay at home with my kids and we homeschool. There is usually someone needing something from me or something in my home requiring my attention most of the day. I stay on the go for most of the time after my feet hit the floor. My kids go to their rooms for a rest time every afternoon though. The house is quiet and I can just be for a little while. Sometimes I do activities, but I usually take at least a little time to sit and enjoy the silence. All of the craziness of the day melts away for a moment and my brain slows down. My body relaxes and I feel better about taking on the afternoon and evening activties to come. I love what I do and I love being around people, but I am very grateful for quiet moments.
