This is Mylie. Yesterday I read an article about how silence is good for the brain. And I wanted to apply it. So I did. Today. After church, lunch and break... we had almost an hour of silence. Wow! That was pretty brand new to the twins. I loved it!!! Juliet said it was chaos, but I think it was the best non-chaotic time we had had in our house in a long time!! Talk about peace! Later Juliet said it was calming.
Beautiful peace. Leah says it was refreshing. I asked Peter if it was a good time and he said, "Yeah." Clint says it felt nice, peaceful. Luke says it was good. It was nice and relaxing, cuz, well I'm usually that nice and relaxing, but the house isn't usually... although during our silent time, Helaman was not silent and neither were a couple of the other younger kids, so it wasn't really all completely silent." James says it was like finding gold in the middle of the sun, because it's pretty hard for things to get that silent around here." Esther says, "I thought that it would be fun to remember stuff and to speak loud again."
You can read the article here.
It affects the parts of the brain that I know all of us need help with. Thanking God for all the blessings!!
