Just Ask Elizabeth - A Quiet Home

Dear Elizabeth,

Things are always quiet in my home, and I like it that way. A few friends have been complaining about the silence in their homes, but not me. I am enjoying the peace and quiet. What makes me crave silence?

Loving the quiet in Lebanon

Dear loving the quiet in Lebanon,

I, too, enjoy the quiet in my home. I had a rather noisy job that I am now retired from, so I embrace the quiet as a time to think, relax, and write another book. I enjoy walking with friends, but that alone quiet time is also precious to me. Just enjoy what works for you and you will be happiest.
