quiet

Fridays I leave 45 minutes later.
I enjoy closing the door and saying goodbye to my children and knowing I will have a few minutes of quiet before I leave the house.
I sometimes fold a bit of laundry.
I load up the dishwasher.
I read blogs.
I rest in the quiet.
They are wonderful minutes.
I take the time to be thankful for all I have been given.
Friends
A job.
A house over my head.
A bed to sleep in.
A family that struggles together.
A job.
I know so many people who have lost a job or who are married to someone who has lost a job.
Sobering times.

Boy am I feeling this way too. I have seen many friends lose jobs of late and my closest friend's husband lost his job on Friday--the newspaper he has worked for for twenty-five years is going under.

Fingers crossed for the rest of the country!
