Last week was half term (6 weeks or so into a term we have a week's holiday) and Cliff and I went down to Othona, in Dorset to chill out and make chutneys, jams and breads. What fun! And what a lovely break from all media, including the Internet. I highly recommend it to anyone. Not knowing what is happening in the world and not being interrupted (by oneself or others) via various applications, is a heaven sent blessing. Just alone with your thoughts and enjoying the simple conversation of others is a balm for the soul.
Sitting in silence. I had forgotten how good that can be. Each evening at Othona there is a chapel time. On each occasion we sat for varying periods of time in silence. There were moments when there were no thoughts going through my mind whatsoever. No multi-tasking. No trying so sort out several things at once. Nothing!

Thanks for reminder to stop the constant multi-tasking...it can't be good for us.
