Silence is Golden

I'm sitting here at my computer this morning and I pause to listen. It's quiet.

Nate is at school. Jim is at work. Jake is still asleep. The TV is off. No children are screaming. Jim is not riddling an insurgent with virtual bullets in one of his XBOX games.

The house is still. I feel still.

Inhale...Deep breath out...

I'm going to enjoy this calm for the few short moments I have it.
