All's quiet....

It is 1:45 pm and it is beautiful. Soup is simmering on the stove, meat is marinating in the fridge, and the sun is shinng through onto the kitchen table where I sit in silence. Nothing but the sound of me typing. Kids are in school and I have about 40 minutes until I leave to go get them.
I think I'll leave early, fill up the truck with gas, get a coffee and sit in more silence on the parking lot of St. Andrew's Preschool.
Once 2:45 hits the silence will be broken - with the lovely sound of children's voices and laughter - telling me all about their day (actually, I have boys. All I get is "good" or "nothin'").
I am going to sit in silence now.
I love the sound of silence.
I hear a lot in silence.
