We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature--trees, flowers, grass--grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence...We need silence to be able to touch souls. --Mother Teresa

Quiet

After an extremely exciting Tiger win last night....I am up and doing laundry this morning.  I am the only one up and it is so quiet in the world. 

Quiet is a wonderful blessing. 

6 days until Christmas.  I have bought 2 gifts.  People freak out when I tell them that....Why?  I am not freaked out.  In fact, I am surprisingly calm.  (I am more freaked over the fact that I didn't vacuum mid-week)  I have to go with Mrs. E on this one.  Read it, she is a wise woman. 


A friend of mine posted this video on her facebook page and I thought I would share with you.  Have a wonderful Saturday...take some time to enjoy some quiet in the world.  Just sayin'.

Congrats to the Tigers! Love the monks! That cracks me up. Also, thanks for the mention. Have a wonderful weekend...even with a few days of school left. It will go fast!
