a quiet moment

other than my early workout, i don't feel like i often take the opportunity to "breathe" during the day. while i am very much aware at how quickly i get caught up in the schedule, the needs of the girls and the demands of the business, it doesn't stop me from going going going. (and, i know that i'm not alone!! - i am referring to all of my typeA people). 

i have two days in one. the first day is focused on work and errands (and a double workout if i can squeeze that in). the second day starts at 2p when i pick up the girls and basically shuttle, feed, support and help them in all ways possible.

tonight i pulled up to my home in my car before the samohi cheer pick-up at 6:40p, but after getting sara from school, downloading with her, sitting on a business conference call, making sara two dinners (one before gymnastics and one for afterwards), sitting in traffic en route to the gym, dropping sara off at gym, doing a full marketing to restock the kitchen for the week, and heading back home in traffic.

i forced my mind to quiet down. there was way too much chitter chatter in there. so, i sat. at first i had the radio on. then i turned to if off. the silence felt so good on my ears. what felt like 5 minutes was really only 2. 

the silence was welcoming.
