Dear Quiet

Today we each see our friends in our respective groups. It’s nice to log off and enjoy our time with others. For me, it used to be hard to make friends. Not anymore.

I thought it was a myth that as you got older, you gained more confidence. Me? Confident?? But actually, it has been true.

I’m not sure if it’s gotten easier with time, or if I just stopped caring about whether people like me or not. Taking the focus off yourself is a great way to enjoy yourself! And also, not caring so much about what others think of you. That helps.

Joining good groups has been a great way to connect, too. Find something you like, and you find like-minded people. I know I make it sound easy, but it also helps to live in a good city.

My plan today is to listen. Just listen. I don’t really have anything to share, but I love listening to others. I have some mundane errands to run, then it’s back home to doing kid’s art, Play Doh, and listening to music.

My child LOVES music! And I don’t mean “wheels on the bus” and such. He listens to the music I do (which is good for kids, nothing crazy). Sharing our love for music creates really cute moments. Like when we’re going up the stairs at the end of the day and we both burst out in the same song :-]

I’m thankful to God for my life, and I pray that all goes okay today. If I have an ordinary day, I’m happy. I love ordinary days. They’re the best!

A little sunshine wouldn’t hurt, either.

I hope you have a shiny, ordinary day.

Take care,
Dear Quiet
