As I travel this journey of life, I find both the unceasing chaotic chatter of the world and my mind brings turmoil within me. To quiet these voices of anxiety and confusion I use my journal and fountain pens. They have long ago become intimate friends who have the ability to bring a calming to my sometimes troubled spirit. As I hold these trusted instruments my breathing and thinking settle down into a place of peace. As I write, the world still shouts but now from a distance and the continuous chatter of my mind gradually becomes a soft whisper.
We are expecting snow to begin about midday with 1-3 inches total. Stay warm.

It’s great that you have found a way to close the door on all the noise in the world. We all have or need to have our own way. Some of us find it easier than others do.

I’m unable to close the door on the noise but I’m able to let the noise and chaos move on. My journals allow me to enter upon these blank pages and step away from the chaos.

Your ability to filter out the chaos is enviable. Everyone, if they choose, must find what works for them. The level of noise and toxicity surrounding us today is palpable and the stress can be unhealthy if we don’t find a way to turn it off.
It’s 68° here today and I’m enjoying every minute. Have a good weekend and stay warm.

You are right. We do find our own multiple ways. It has been lightly snowing for about 8:30 am. Staying warm!!!
