Today I am thankful for quiet. It's quiet inside. It's quiet outside. Aaaahhhh...
Welcome! I'm so happy to have had so many visitors already! I must apologize for not being ready for you earlier! I also apologize for the wacky font sizes throughout my post. No matter how hard I try, I can't correct them. If music doesn't begin playing shortly after your arrival, scroll down until you see a purple music widget begin to load in the left hand column and wait until you hear the music before scrolling back up here. Happy Halloween Fete 2009! Love and Spookiness to All! ~Jo (Continue scrolling down until the end of the post) Outside, it's a gloomy & cold day here on the NJ coast. Many a restless Spirit wander here on days like this. One can never be too sure if the fog & mist are just as they seem. Inside, it is warm yet equally frightful! Creepy crawlies have gotten into the food & drink, I so hope you don't mind! What with all of the party hopping we're doing, I didn't want you to bust a gut, so I've laid out some Pumpkin Cook...

When my kids were little, I lived for quiet moments. Now, even tho' they all still live at home, I think I'm starting to get an idea of what an empty nest will be like. And I'm not sure I'm going to like all of that quiet at all! I only like it for a couple of hours at a time right now; hopefully I'll get used to it when I have to.
Some of my favorite moments in life are when I'm feeling stressed, nervous, upset or even scared...and I remember to take a moment to breathe. The moment I can hear my breath and feel my heartbeat regulate with each rise and fall of my chest reminds me that I am ALIVE and life is what you make it.
(((HUGS))) to you! You'll be fine with your empty nesting, I just have a feeling!
Alisha, my husband is sometimes like that, he's always got to have something going on in the background. Right now, everything is off and all I can hear is the wind blowing dried leaves around outside and the noises from our computer. He'll come in and turn the tv on to the country music channel in no time if he comes home to this, lol!
There's so much noise where we live (off a major highway, across the bay from 3 airports, obnoxious tenants) and even noise in my brain with all of my rambling thoughts, that it's So Nice to be able to just sit in the quiet and be silent for a while.
