Listen

There are certain sounds that do wonderful things
for your brain.
Sounds that bring back memories.
Sounds that evoke laughter.
Sounds that instill peace and calm.
Sounds that make your heart happy.
Some of my favorites . . .

Chirping birds.
Whispering pines.
Ocean waves.
Kids laughing.
The crackle of a fire.
The silence of being alone with thoughts and prayers.
My husband's voice.
Church bells.
Christmas music.
My children (making pretty much any noise).
Waterfalls.
My dog grumbling and 'talking'.
Rain on a tin roof.
Cats purring.
Echoes in the mountains.

Take a moment
from your crazy, hectic schedule
and just listen.
There is a feast for your ears.
