Everywhere I have lived I have had to adjust to the local "sounds".
In college it was the non-stop commotion.
At camp in Ligonier it was frogs, squirrels, Izzy shifting in her cage(my rabbit), birds, kids running around.
In town in Ligonier it was cars driving by, the old house settling, people walking their dogs.
In Guatemala it was the neighbors little dog yipping, firecrackers in the street between 5am & 6am, guns shots, roosters, lots of honking car horns.
Back at home it was mom playing the piano, dad watching politcal stuff on "his" tv, the phone ringing, and someone yelling "come quick, there are deer in the back yard"(even though this is a daily occurance).
Here at Bradford Woods it's the pileated woodpeckers, the coyotes, and small animals running through the dry leaves.

close your eyes and just listen
What kinds of things do you hear on a daily basis?

Kids... lots of kids... yelling, talking, cell phone buttons clicking, new puppy whining, husband snoring.
What I miss... silence.
chicken bus honking, waking me around 4am everyday...usually i am annoyed (i know...what??!!? ME annoyed in the morning?!!?)...but in thinking about it now, i realize how blessed i am to still be in a bed at 4am when others are already on those buses trying to get to jobs which may or may not pay enough for them to eat that day...and even more so now in light of how much more dangerous it has become to be on those buses...thanks for bringing that out for me! love you!!!!
