Vow of Silence- Part 4

You know as I looked over my last three posts about my Silent Vow week, I see how many different things ranging from attitudes and behaviors, inner spirituality and God, self worth and respect for self and others, and just the health of my ears have been affected by the silence.  

I was going to kind of give up on the silence but now I think that just being a LOT more quiet the rest of the week will suffice.  I think an hour here or an hour there might be easy enough and not too annoying to those around me.   

I am actually thinking that my hour of cooking dinner might be good quiet time.  It is time when everyone is here but it is usually a kind of hairy and frenzied time with people coming and going, kids being hungry and homework trying to get done. 

But that one hour is also when I usually get crazy and the noise around me and the voices trying to be heard often include mine.  So I will take mine out.  Might just work…If I can keep my mouth shut during my most frenzied hour of the day, I just might be able to control that much more in my life.

I may do this forever…who knows!?!?!?!  

 Well, it’s time to make dinner…maybe I’ll say a little prayer for strength…

Actually todays quote of the day had to do with strength…

“Anyone can give up, it’s the easiest thing in the world to do.  But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that’s true strength.” 

And the amazing Jack Lalanne once said.. “A healthy person starts the day by counting their blessings”

I think I will follow his lead and add that to my daily routine.

Thanks Jack for all that you did for the world, may you Rest in Peace.

On that note I give thanks right now for my blessings today which are too numerous to list here…

Peace,

Dorina
