Grace , Humility and Silence

Silence is true wisdom’s best reply-Euripides.

I need silence. Downtime. Quiet. I function best when I can hear my own thoughts. As I’ve gotten older I realize it’s because I’m an introvert and an empath. I soak in every last thought and feeling from those around me. So large crowds drain me. I’ve learned to protect my own energy and flee from those that are energy vampires.

After a full weekend I was a hermit yesterday and hunkered down puttering around my house. And today I finally get back to Pilates. To center me, ground me and offer one hour of silence in my head. I didn’t succeed with my plan to do one thing for my own needs the last few days. Busy parties took over. So yesterday I forgave myself and started over.
