Sweet Quiet



Today was an unusual day at work, it was ... quiet and without much interruption.  I was able to work, in quiet (for the most part) and take control of my day's schedule without having to add, squish, or squeeze another thing in.  It was great!

It made me realize the mental noise that stress (for me stress is too many tasks in not enough time to complete them) creates and the sense of peace that can come from being allowed to take control of your own schedule and allot enough time for things.  Now, I did not get through the whole to-do list, but I felt lighter and noticeably less tired at the end of the day, then I might typically.  The mental noise was significantly reduced.

Today, I am thankful for quiet, sweet quiet and the chance to work in peace.  What gives you a sense of peace and accomplishment?

P.S. Notice the sweets in today's picture!
