The sound of silence

I never appreciated silence, until I became a Mother. When the only noise that you hear is the sound of rain or wind it has a hypnotic soothing effect. I have become so accustomed to hearing crying, screaming, squeeling, giggles and the usual baby babble that I hardly get the chance to listen to absolutely nothing. Peace and quiet is so underrated...I hardly ever turn on the TV or radio because it is just more noise fading into the background without thought. My husband laughs at me when I listen to classical symphonies in the car, because he thinks it is so old fashioned. Maybe it is, but I love the order! I know that someday soon I will miss the sound of little feet and all the fussing...but for now I love the stolen moments of silence. Cheers!
