It's quiet. Well, almost. There is the ticking of the clock, the rattle of the furnance, the birds chirping outside of my window and my computer humming along.
For some this silence is uncomfortable or we feel guilty so we turn on the TV though we aren't really watching. It is important in the chaos of everyday living that we take a few moments and shut out as many sounds of the world and just be. It is here that we can rest, that we can rejuvenate, that we can be creative and we can reflect.
Beverly's Hot Tips For Celebrating Noise Awareness Day
- Pay attention to the noises you make and respect your neighbor's right to peace and quiet.
