I swear, Em, when you list the things you love about life, it’s like I’m reading my own words–except much better written! I hope all is well with you. I’m reading some really good books I need to pass along one of these days…

And if in that moment of quiet, you can enjoy a hot cup of coffee (preferably of the Louisiana variety)…. then well.

That’s nice.

That is so true. We all need some time to sit back, relax, and just enjoy the things God has provided.

Your post made me think of a reading…here’s part of it:
“We need silence, not to escape from ourselves but to know the foundation, the roots, the tendencies of our true nature….. This experience shows us that we are called to discover a new relation with the things of daily life, such as words. Our functional equipment is necessary to our lives, but it must not be the master. …If we work inwardly, we learn to preserve a distance from the events of our lives, to stop for a few moments and return to the living sensation of ourselves.” ~Henriette Lannes

That blissful silence is God’s salve for a roughed up soul. Our busy-ness and live-out-loud lifes are wonderful, but I love the quiet, too.
