Genuine Quiet
I am in need of some quiet today.
I'm anxiously awaiting the moment where I can sit around and just listen
to my heart. A moment to sit with a journal and write, write, write.
An afternoon to go to the library or bookstore and look for the perfect
book to read. A day to take the kids to the park and maybe have a
picnic. A day at the beach to dig my feet into wet sand and have the
waves splash around me...this is the quiet I need.
I have a forever long to-do list of blog posts to write, job duties at work, finals to study for, things to remember before the kids' school ends and I just want to be quiet for a moment. I want to relish in the hush before I have to tackle it all.
I'd love some time to just sit with a coffee and breath a little. I was searching for some words of wisdom this morning and found it. Those words were exactly what I am trying to convey today. Just a little quiet to get everything in order before the freedom of summer begins.
I hope your day is a breath of fresh air. I wish you a moment of quiet in your bustling day where you can devour the genuine quiet we all crave.
Until that moment comes, I'm going back to being a responsible adult and get some work done.
Bummer. {wink}
Being a responsible adult is overrated sometimes ;) Why did we want to grow up so fast again?
ReplyDeleteSometimes I wish we could take a break from being a responsible adult and take time to just sit and be quiet!
ReplyDeleteI agree with amberly being an adult is so overrated. I am seeking that inner quietness hopefully I can get it once in Munich tomorrow x
ReplyDeleteYay for bluebottle coffee! You're so right on this post!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. I hope you do manage to get a moment of genuine quiet - it's amazing how much of a difference even 5 minutes to yourself with no distractions can make.
ReplyDeleteI love this. A great reminder to be still and quiet. It is very healthy to have quiet time. I hope you get yours soon. :)
ReplyDeletebreaks can be so needed sometimes!
ReplyDeleteI thrive on quiet moments! I know a lot of people need social interaction and to be around people to really energize themselves, but those quiet moments where I can just think or write or be creative are pure bliss for me. I haven't had one in the past few months and I'm already planning that time for this weekend and cannot wait for it! Hope you find your silence soon :)
ReplyDeleteAh, being an adult is no fun ;) I try to find the bit of quite among the adult life though!
ReplyDeletesometimes those moments are the best and can get us out of our funk
ReplyDeleteI had a moment like that last week. It was so needed!
ReplyDeleteOh man, I need a quiet day too!
ReplyDeleteI can completely relate!! Between my 2 crazy kids, my photography business and my Rizzmic instructor training, I feel like I don't have a moment alone all day to just sit with my thoughts! I would give anything for a "quiet day"!
ReplyDeleteGosh. What I wouldn't give for like a WEEK of quiet. But I'd use it to get all caught up in everything thats stressing me out. Growing up stinks! I think we should get matching 'don't grow up, it's a trap shirts'.
ReplyDeleteHoping you find that quiet soon. We all need it to stay sane. Love you girl.
For me quiet might be the most stressful thing. I feel like my mind is always going 90 miles a minute, always anticipating the next post, the next outing, etc. Maybe I need to slow down.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I am really mad at myself for growing up. Who wants to be an adult anyway!?
ReplyDeleteI just wish we could all have a day, where we can sit in quiet. I really need to find a balance to life where I can just sit, relax and do nothing. I'm at a constant 100 mph at all times and never sit down.
