Peace and quiet is a needed balance, at least in my life.
Peace comes when I watch LB#2 do 100 jumping-jacks as she counts by ones, fives and even tens
Quiet comes when I have some time to sit and read a good book
Peace arrives when LB #4 is walking around all by himself
Quiet comes when sesame street is on during lunch
Peace is present when I watch hawaii five-o with the family
Quiet is around during my drives to work, I sip my coffee and listen to "eric and kathy" (in the morning) and k-love (in the afternoon)
Peace comes when I arrive home and get dinner ready
Quiet is around while I check blogs, email and people.com
Peace is present when the lovebugs chatter nonstop in the morning as soon as I arrive
Quiet arrives during the little guy's nap
Peace is back when I hear him awake and "talking" and when I go into his room there is always a big smile plastered on his face
Peace comes when LB #4 asks "at? at? at?" (that) countless times a day
Quiet is here when he finds his book bin and goes to town
Peace is present when I pick the girls up from school and I ask about their days
Quiet comes when I say my prayers at night
Peace comes when a new day begins
Peace and quiet may be hard to come by every day, but I have chosen to discover them all around me, each day.
