Silence.

A quick thought before I return to the hustle and bustle that is my 27th birthday this morning.  I realize snow is an odd thing to have on my mind when you consider the fact that I am currently packing for a trip to Florida which I will embark on tomorrow. Combine that with the fact that we have had hardly a Winter at all in the great state of North Carolina, and you must wonder what in the world I am thinking.  I was thinking, when is it actually ever silent in my life?  We all stay busy, always running here or running there with a million things to do on our minds.  Some of us are much busier than others. I am currently not employed so I can almost guarantee that you're busier than me, although I do what I can to help my family. Even when I am at home doing nothing, cleaning done, I am watching TV; or if I am enjoying a good book I most likely have some of my favorite music playing low for background noise. If I'm not relaxing it seems I am ALWAYS social networking, texting, or talking to someone on the phone (probably my mom or grandma). When am I actually ever silent? Never. So now how does snow fit into that frame of mind? Well, here you are.  I would like a little silence for a while.  Silence like it is silent during a big snow. When you go outside at night and the snow is silently, beautifully falling. There aren't any noises from animals, people, or cars.  Everything is so seemingly bright, pure and peaceful. That is the kind of silence I'm talking about. Just imagining that scene puts my mind at ease. I can almost breathe in the crisp, clean night air. Deep breath in, and I suppose it's back to my action packed day. Thanks for reading!  I am hoping for some writing time and free Wifi in Florida!
