Silence

I was in my room this morning, laying in bed, enjoying the quiet.

My TV was in power down mode, and my phone was charging.

I realized, I have my TV on in the background, just for sound.  I rarely watch it, unless there's a show that I want to watch.  Other than that - background noise.

My phone charges, and I catch up with social media, news, etc., but it's background lighting.

Sometimes it's in the silence where I can let go and reflect on yesterday, find out where my mind is today, and plan for tomorrow (Lord willing).  It is where I find peace - and pursue it.

Silence can be as loud as a buzzsaw; yet in the stillness and quiet, I can hear God whispering to my soul.

It is where I meditate, think on higher things, and allow baser things to be released.  It is where I achieve my highest sense of being.  

So, bye bye 'book, toodle-lo Twitter, ta-ta TV, and  I'll catch u later Instragram... time for a return to silence.

(maybe I can finally type out this book! IJS)

Back On My Grind

Been gone for a minute, now I'm back again...(Awesome lyrics, btw)

I've had the BUSIEST month:

*Teaching like a madwoman at church
*Running to and from meetings for Sorority Fundraiser during the past 3 weeks
*Created a souvenir booklet for said fundraiser (soooo glad that's done)
*THE ACTUAL FUNDRAISER!! (glad it's over)
*Father's Day (never a chore, but with all the running...)
*Pricing mailout for work - very INVOLVED
*Took work home to catch up
*Babysitting on off days (the little critter is getting BIG!)
*Trying to catch a spare minute to BREATHE!!

And the month isn't done....

But it's been busy enough to keep me from writing...and I GOTTA get back to it.  My accountability partner is chomping on the bit, as he has stepped his game ALLTHEWAYUP (gotta catch up to my oneie).  To him, I say WATCH. YOUR. BACK. SIR.

I think that I'm getting ready for some changes.  Good ones.  I welcome them into my life.

Busy, Busy, Busy....

Sorry, haven't had time to write, but hopefully, by the end of this month, that will change.

Meanwhile, here is where I find myself today: ever had a dream that seemed so real that when you were jolted awake by the REALNESS of it,  you couldn't go back to sleep?

Happened to me.  Wonder if there are some things I need to get ready for?
