Quiet, please! The remarkable power of silence – for our bodies and our minds Our increasingly noisy world has been linked to cardiovascular disease, anxiety and depression, as well as hearing loss. But that’s not the only reason we need more peace and quiet in our lives No dogs barking. No lawnmowers. No revving engines. No…

Quiet, please! The remarkable power of silence – for our bodies and our minds

I agree. Good food, warm and friendly.

Thank you, today seemed to go well. It’s a two day inspection. One HMI who manages to be everywhere all of the time!

Winter Glossary.

Acedia: a melancholic sluggishness of mind/body
Clinomania: a desire to stay in bed
Apricity: the warmth of the sun on a cold day
Latibulize: to retire into a den, or hole, & lie dormant for the winter
Abibliophobia: the fear of running out of reading material

Happy Winter Solstice to all in the northern hemisphere.

The turn of the year's tide, a pivot-point, a day of hope—when the dark stops rising & after which the Sun begins its slow climb back.
A day I celebrate more than Christmas or New Year.

Fiat lux!
