The beauty of quiet

This spring was a blur - studying for the licencing exam, waiting to hear where I was going, finding and buying a house, trying to spend time at home with my dad, more studying, less eating, flying around for conferences, graduation, moving, post grad vacation - it was exhausting in every sense of the word. I even got the post-busy-exam-season sickness that sets in when you calm down, and lingers for weeks.

But then everything settled down, and for once I got to be quiet. Not just quiet physically, but quiet mentally. I have watched the sunset every night for weeks and it is in those quiet times that I stumble across my most deep and philosophical thoughts. For example - I'm not where I expected to be, and maybe not even where I want to be, but I'm happy. And really that's all that matters.

So now that I've enjoyed the stillness, read 4 books, worked on 2 quilts, and knitted countless things....I feel ready to rejoin the world. Good thing too, cause I have a course to study for on Monday!

Lots of love
