A Quiet Friday

Arranging a bowl of flowers in the morning can give a sense of quiet in a crowded day - like writing a poem or saying a prayer.  (Anne Morrow Lindbergh)

After several meetings and appointments this week, it was a relief to have a quiet day at home.  I was able to catch up on some of my paperwork, do a little writing, clean up the kitchen, and attend to other tasks and activities. 

Anne Morrow Lindbergh's words are a poignant reminder for me as the busy days resume next week.  Being in the quiet can happen every day and not always in the same way.  It is a precious gift that only I can give myself.
