Especially if I'm walking outside. My brain is busy enough with plot bunnies whispering in my ear. <BR/><BR/>HA! I just read your comment, Margaret, about talking to your cats. Since my doggy died, I just talk to myself. Of course, there is the benefit of at least having intelligent conversation that way ...Leah Braemelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05926632511671914080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15451736.post-91383176306346794562009-02-05T10:55:00.000-05:002009-02-05T10:55:00.000-05:00Oh, my gosh - I'd never make it through the silent...Oh, my gosh - I'd never make it through the silent retreat! While I like silence while I'm working, I confess to talking to the cats when I'm not.Margaret Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11556769462995493735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15451736.post-9108047240331509442009-02-05T09:55:00.000-05:002009-02-05T09:55:00.000-05:00I'm like Kara, after the kids are in bed the TV is...I'm like Kara, after the kids are in bed the TV is off. <BR/><BR/>I may listen to my music but no TV. I've had enough mayhem during the day. If I'm working, then music, but if I'm just relaxing or reading then no noise.<BR/><BR/>I do have to work with noise though, because I worked in a busy law office and worked on my writing with two toddlers running around, I can't concentrate when it's quiet ... too quiet.Amy Ruttanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02212879406999128140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15451736.post-81992619439998831942009-02-05T09:15:00.000-05:002009-02-05T09:15:00.000-05:00I like quiet in the evening...after the kids are i...I like quiet in the evening...after the kids are in bed, the TV goes off and I sit and read or cross stitch to the beautiful sound of silence.<BR/><BR/>The day is filled with so much noise that it is like a breat of fresh air to be silent. <BR/><BR/>One of the things I enjoy is...twice every year there is a group of women who sponsor a "Silent Retreat" where we go to this beautiful retreat - river, trees, fields, etc. and we sit there all day and be silent. Wonderful!!!Karahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04746317916269177679noreply@blogger.com
