We live in a noisy world. All day long, the engine hums as you tool down the highway. The radio is turned on, and the CB crackles with someone wanting to talk. The restaurants we eat in have music playing, diners chatting and sometimes the dishes clatter. I have gotten into the habit of eating my breakfast while watching the morning news on TV. The news, weather and local road conditions are repeated every ten minutes. During that time, several ads blast at least 3 decibels louder than the news broadcast. One day, I had heard enough and decided to turn it off. The silence was golden. Every day, we have good opportunities to enjoy a quiet time. Try turning the noise off and enjoy the silence. Need ideas for what you can do during quiet times? Ask us. Comment here.
