Vow of Slience
Staring on Monday of next week I was thinking about taking a vow of silence for 14 days. It is something I have always wanted to do for me, but could barely make it several hours. Over the past month I have found I talk more and more. Not that that's a bad thing in itself, but I really miss the old me that never said a word unless I had something important to say. Now I just talk to talk and I find myself hating myself for it. Constantly regretting everything I say. Plus, through silence there is clarity. You see more of the world and you're much more perceptive to your surrounding. I think by going 14 full days without a peep will not only show me that I have the strength to do it, but I think it will benefit me more than I realize.

*hugs* good luck! I used to be a big talker, but I\'ve been getting more and more quiet as time goes on.
Thank you! I don\'t think it\'s a bad thing to become more and more quiet. I long for the day when I can go back to not talking to people for days on end.
While I cannot imagine going even a day without speaking...at least to my hubby...I admire what you\'re doing. Good luck!
