Recently I wrote about the Beauty of Quiet. While I am a firm believer in finding quiet times for ourselves, I am also a lover of the noises in our lives. We all have them – whether you are in college, just married, enjoying the fighting giggling of young children, or the pitter patter of your fur child’s paws.
Whatever stage of life you are in, you’re blessed with a routine of sound that is all your own.
No other person on this earth has the same soundtrack as you. Sometimes I wake to my own noises (husband getting ready for work, dog barking, child snoring in my ear) and admittedly wish for a quieter wake up call. However given the chance I wouldn’t trade it for the world. My days are filled with children’s laughter, the clicking of my keyboard, the hum of the refrigerator, and the occasional sounds of the Xbox. The music that inhabits our SUV has changed from my favorite radio station, to the ever popular children’s CDs; and daytime television rarely sees Regis & Kelly. It’s okay, because soon these noises will change and forever be simply a memory in time.
I want to encourage you today to sit back, even if for a brief moment and savor the sounds of your day. Certainly they are not all grins and giggles – there is bickering, and dogs barking, and the ever-hated sound of traffic. This is okay! This is wonderful in fact. We have been given another day, even more moments, to enjoy with our ears the beauty of noise.
What does your daily soundtrack include? Love to hear about your unique music.
