Shhh

I had a headache today, so on the way home from a meeting this afternoon, I actually turned off my car radio for the whole drive home. And that silence was just what the doctor ordered. Sometimes I forget how much I enjoy it. The silence was extra luxurious today because my mind was actually pretty quiet too, which is a rarity -- it's usually something of a chatty parrot squawking for attention. But today somehow the pain crowded out the words and then in the silence, the quietness crowded out the pain, and before I knew it I was home.
