Good morning friends! Last night we had a soaking rain. Summer night rain is beautiful. I opened up the windows and let the peaceful sound fill the house as we brushed teeth and tucked kids into bed. I was reminded again of the importance of quiet. I can get used to a fast pace and while I crave quiet, when I have it I all too often do my best to fill it with something that is surely urgent. Listening to the the falling rain, getting that morning run in to the birds chirping, coffee with stillness…it is sunshine for the soul. Leaving room for quiet is richness and life fully felt. Let’s take time for quiet this weekend, shall we?

How do you create quiet in your life? Please share, I am would love to hear.
