Living the Quiet(er) Life
I've thought alot about my New Year's Resolutions and have decided on one. To live quieter. To me, that means to listen more than I talk, to pause and reflect when my inclinations are to raise my voice and blurt out in anger, to sit and read more with my kids, to do things because they are right and not so that people will see what I do. It's a step back from the never-ending race to cross everything off the day's to-do list. It means doing less but living more fully. So, in this new year, 2010, I hope to relax a little more and slow down. Because we already have enough going on around here: I don't need to be the one stirring.

Great goals. I haven't made any official goals yet. It always takes me a while to decide and I got started late this year. The quiet is sounding pretty good.
