A quiet life

I am living a very quiet life at the moment, particularly on days when my husband is out of the state for work. This doesn't mean that I'm not doing anything. Most days I do chores around the house, get groceries, write, send out stories to publishers, go to class, do homework, job hunt, maybe see a friend or two, do yoga or go for a walk, etc. But when I'm at home the house is silent except for conversations between the cat and I, or when the TV is on. Also, there is very little stress and drama in my life right now, especially since my husband and I are trying to work on things and I'm not dreading negative interactions. This is not meant as complaint or boasting; this is to remind myself that this is what I need. This reminder is timely because the other day I caught myself wondering if I was bored, now I realise I wasn't, I just wasn't feeling stressed. I know soon enough stress will probably re-enter my life when I get a part-time job and start doing assessments for class, and that's probably not a bad thing up to a point. For now though, this is a reminder to myself to enjoy my quiet life while I have it. Maybe once life returns to a more normal pace, I can capture pockets of quietness that feel like this.
