A poem, with my apologies:
The Noise Symphony
Outside there is a dog barking, a chainsaw grating
In the kitchen there are dishes banging
In the den a gun is shooting (on the tv)
Upstairs there is music thumping
Beside me there is my music playing (softly, gently)
In the bathroom there is water running
Somewhere in the house a phone is ringing
Above me, there are feet romping
I nearly complain about all this noise before I realize
This is the symphony of my life
So I sit and listen and think of when
This symphony will one day cease
And I then I will curse the silence

How true! Thanks for the reminder!
In the midst of the chaos that is so often my house, I try to remind myself of the same thing!
I know this is so true! Thanks for the reminder to stop and listen and enjoy.
