    So glad we share a word... and I'm so glad you did the different definitions. I had planned on doing that, but in the chaos of my life, when I finally sat down to write, I forgot! :)

    Thanks for stopping by. I knew if I didn't, it would be impossible for me to think about all the different ways my life needs quiet. :)
