Shhh, it's a Quiet Day!

This morning when I woke up, it was so blissfully silent that I declared today a Quiet Day. This means no music, and minimal talking. I just want to enjoy the silence for as long as I can, you know? I always put music on as soon as I wake up and it's going all day. And I usually listen to Sirius XM radio and I get really annoyed with the DJs or with stupid songs that I don't like. So by having a quiet day, I'm cutting out those annoyances too. Everybody wins. It's been pretty peaceful. I have found myself going to put on the music a few times, absentmindedly of course. I bring noise into my life without even thinking about it most days. Well, not today. I decided if it starts to get loud outside, like construction or dogs barking or kids yelling, then I can put the music on. Those things are more disruptive to my sanity than bad songs on the radio. So, I offer the challenge to you. Can you have a quiet day? Tomorrow I'm going to try a "no computer day". Boy, do I waste a lot of time on the internet.
