"Silence is the true friend that never betrays."
- Confucius

Hear that? It's the sound of quietude. After experiencing it today, I remembered that I had heard it before. Long ago. Before we had kids.

The busy, noisy, in your face, hey-what-are-you-doing-what's-for-dinner-come-look-at-this-I'll-go-with-you-so-I-can-drive one left on a four day Youth Leader's trip this morning. That leaves me home with only the quiet one.

*sigh*

I'm so sad.
