It is very quiet here…my sons won’t be home for another week atleast, my deario is often away at gigs, my sweet mom is very quiet and rather confused these days…but there is more time than usual to tend to the little things…like a new cover for my notebook. New for my notebook, but more than a hundred years old…
And every day I perch on the sofa in the little, sunny sitting room with my basket next to me while Mom breakfasts…and make my lists…and check them twice…
It is a blessing that I can be happy at home, day after quiet day…but I must admit that one of the happiest sounds I hear is the little “ping” of a new email in my inbox from the computer in kitchen corner. Comments so brighten my day, and I love to follow some to new places I’ve never been before and some to familiar haunts. Perhaps if you read here and are enjoying my Advent posts and haven’t said hello yet…you might do so in the days to come? Thinking about it, opening comments has the same quality of expectation that the opening of Advent doors does…

Who knows who is writing…what they will have to say…what new place I may discover?
And as I continue on at rather a snail’s pace through these early December days, it has been such a treat to see where others have already arrived in making their homes Fair…just to name a few.

Wishing you quiet…or joyous sound…or mixture of both…whatever it is you need.
