Surrounded by Silence

This is my favorite time of the day.  At this hour, it's all about me.  No more dishes to do, no cleaning, no homework to help with.  Total "Me" time.

It's so quiet in the house that I can hear my own heart beating.  I can hear the sounds of my digestive system as it processes every thing that I've eaten.  I can hear the snap, crackle and pop of my body as I get up to stretch.  Time also seems to slow down at this early hour.

Don't get me wrong, I love listening to my family talk about their day, the adventures they've had and what they are looking forward to for the next day, but sometimes it's a great thing to be surrounded by silence.
