Peace and Quiet

I am sitting on the couch with nothing important to do for the first time in what seems like a LONG time. I am sitting on the couch, not because I am sick, or because I am beyond exhaustion, or because I need to catch a breath, no, I am sitting because I want to.

I love being busy, I love working, I love having friends and family in my home. I love cleaning and cooking, I love reading and watching TV. But sometimes I just want to sit and listen to the peace and quiet. I want to sit with no sense of urgency to move for a bit. I want to sit without reason of "getting better".

Well, Matt is coming home now. I am so happy. But, I have enjoyed my time to just sit. Maybe read a book, maybe take a nap, maybe check facebook. Now, with my wonderful husband home the sound of the refrigerator will fade into the background and the tick tock of the clock will no longer be heard. I am not happy about this, I am just glad that I had some peace and quiet!
