i have renamed my blog because there is something holy about quiet days. i don't just mean a day off from work, i mean the kind of days where the demands of life can't touch you...days absent of noise from the world:
no errands
no alarm
no housework
no unrealistic expectations
no email
no bill paying
rather:
music plays
books are read
movies critiqued
philosophy with tea
dessert for breakfast
dreams conspire
there are things about quiet days that must be captured and held closely to get you through the next week...a quiet to keep.
i have days like these once a week, truly i do. they are fought for and have required unreal amounts of discipline, but they come around every week like a glass of lemonade on a hot afternoon. refreshing, restoring, renewing. i leave these days inspired and eager to live life fully. i have recently decided to use these days as a common thread in my writing and to briefly share to whomever the moments that make up my quiet days.

we girls at the Timmerman house cherish our quite days...or stay home days as we call them. the big world, the adult world takes them from us too often. sometimes we declare a holiday in order to reclaim our stay home days of tea, books, movies, quiet, laying on the couch together or alone. glad to be reading your thoughts again Cassie. they are humble and encouraging. love you, t-kay
however we find our "quiet" in the middle of the storms, may it be be rejuvinating to our souls. I love when I get to peek inside your thougts. mom
