Shh!Quiet. Shhhhhhh please!
The noises reverberating all around our house tip the scales many a night; crazy dog barking, music emanating from technology, simultaneous conversations carrying on a midst random boy noises and TV voices competing in the back ground. Decibels increasing and suddenly mom Shhshing all, hoping for a quiet space, but not really wanting it to stop. The noise does overwhelm but it also means there is a pulse of life in our home. Time soon enough when one by one the noise makers will move on so this shhsher needs to shhsh herself and listen and remember.

I remind myself of this all the time. The activity in our home is a gift, especially at our ages! Many nests are emptying out. But when my insides are settled it is unnerving. Like right about now...........
