Okay, I had to stop and for some reason am unable to get the editing to work correctly to pick up where I left off. Sorry about the break in writing.
Just to close these thoughts out. I've only mentioned a few things that are rattling around in my head. The list goes on and on as I'm sure many of friends do too. How do I conclude these observations about myself? Well, its okay to have quiet. It's okay to have time to think, to be still, to listen to the holy spirit during the mundane things. Usually music during my quiet alone times leads me into communion with God. Half the time I'm grumbling and complaining about the task at hand but I am learning that I need to take advantage of these moments as gifts. Whether it is rediscovering a dusty talent, spending time with a young mother or hurting friend, washing the kid's clothes, or trying a new exercise such as yoga. Being still is a gift, it's not popular, it seems unproductive but it is necessary because my heavenly father created it.
I love hearing the words that are "rattling around" in your head! I agree - being still IS a gift and a wonderful one!
