Even when I am silent, I am usually doing something. I need to do nothing and be silent - like at the end of yoga. That’s a great idea. Even when I am silent, I am usually doing something.

We are so caught up in the busyness of it all that we don't take the time to allow our souls to develop, or something close to that. If you've seen the movie, it can be a disconcerting moment, but that's Monte! I learned this year’s ago watching Monty Python’s “The Meaning of Life!”

I have always grown up watching him "sit" (meditate), and so it holds a strong & comforting image in my head. Though I don't meditate, my Mom has often urged me to try it, as it works to be not only a huge stress reliever, but a great energy booster. As you mentioned, 10 minutes of successful meditation can be of far greater benefit than 10 min of sleep in terms of "rest" for our bodies. Maybe someday I will introduce the practice into my daily or weekly routine.....but for now I just look at it with great respect as a wonderful and powerful tool for our minds and bodies. my Dad is a buddhist priest, and lived in Japan and Hawaii for many years practicing Buddhism as a monk.

And the comments, too. I like Meredith's official daily quiet time for everyone. I generally give my kids 10-15 minutes of free time after school pickup before starting homework, but they usually spend the time squabbling. Makes late afternoon chaotic, to say the least. I think my whole gang could benefit from this challenge. Five to ten minutes each afternoon, for seven days. It'll have to start Tuesday though, because they're all in bed now - and there is NO WAY I'm getting them back up. This quiet time is all mine. Great facetime, mizfit! And the comments, too.
