It drives both of us absolutely batty. You call his (very dear) mother and you hear The Price is Right blaring. She doesn't even hear it anymore. <BR/><BR/>I guess you just get sensitized/desensitized to any surroundings. I, like you, can't hang with that. When I'm not watching TV, it goes off. For example, this evening there was no TV on at all. Just quiet. Sometimes I play music. I don't want the kids growing up with the TV going all the time, during meals, etc.Amber Cargilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00254241543896488112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839358477265144981.post-30803586574606622492008-09-22T20:49:00.000-07:002008-09-22T20:49:00.000-07:00Rose, I think you're wired great!But I do also thi...Rose, I think you're wired great!<BR/><BR/>But I do also think it's what a person is used to. Having lived in wide open spaces w/ big skies (Western US) for the last 15-odd years, I also find it strange when I'm in a forested area...I feel less in control not being able to see around the bend because of trees. But I know I could get used to them. I also think in some ways, the trees obscure things and make it LESS busy in some respects. <BR/><BR/>In the end, I need balance. Yin and yang. I can't do a minimalist space...they usually feel cold and devoid of personality. Conversely, too much "frou" and gilding the lily drives my senses insane. I need somewhere in the middle. <BR/><BR/>The ocean, the mountains, the desert...are all majestic and simple...yet there is tons of life to observe if I'm inclined. More and more I want simplicity with depth...whether in my surroundings or in my relationships. That's a good Middle Way for me.Amber Cargilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00254241543896488112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839358477265144981.post-22652186281425257992008-09-22T19:18:00.000-07:002008-09-22T19:18:00.000-07:00Well I love the way you are "wired" - so loving, s...Well I love the way you are "wired" - so loving, so spiritual, so kind, and so thoughtful. I love reading your thoughts on things and am so happy for you that you ARE true to your soul and surround yourself with what makes it whole. That's the most important thing. Be where you are meant to be and embrace it. Your words are comforting and soothing and always beautifully shared.

Since I am trying to declutter this house, I am feeling different as I "open" up the space. It is more calming. I have a lot of stuff to get rid of and I wonder why I thought I needed it the first place. Different passage of life for me - so different feeling are coming with it.<BR/>Hugs,<BR/>ConnieConniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04298920945871178648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839358477265144981.post-42670812403697993652008-09-22T07:32:00.000-07:002008-09-22T07:32:00.000-07:00Hi Rose,I found you thru Prism's site.

Your words spoke to me and I felt I had found a kindred spirit. I, too, find the picture of the bedroom way too busy for my taste and, honestly, would have a very hard time relaxing there. My sensory overload tends to come to me in terms of noise. I've always been this way since a child and prefer quiet, small gatherings over large get-togethers, I prefer a quiet house with soft classical music over the noise and chatter of a tv. Your piece reminded me of a <A HREF="http://www.rebeccarites.blogspot.com/2007/10/simple-pleasures.html" REL="nofollow">piece</A> I posted last year. <BR/><BR/>Oh, I will certainly return to be calmed and centered by more of your lovely words.<BR/><BR/>best,<BR/>rebeccarebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18248554235709475320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839358477265144981.post-19940529520415995162008-09-22T06:28:00.000-07:002008-09-22T06:28:00.000-07:00Interesting thoughts, Rose.

When hubby and I visited Boston last year, I thoroughly enjoyed the city, while knowing that I would not want to live there.<BR/>I find it fascinating that America provides so much diversity, not only in culture but also in climate and landscape.paintergalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04477665489782815526noreply@blogger.com
