Traffic in a big city is tedious that takes the fun out of it for me at times, but I did learn to appreciate the delays, as a time out or moment to just breathe and relaxIda Chiavarohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15479961947050289284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349028882566941779.post-35142201710659558132014-01-01T14:16:25.507-08:002014-01-01T14:16:25.507-08:00Hi Sharon.

I love the suggestion in the article that parents with young kids should let their kids know they want tot practice silence for a day or shorter period of time. It takes a bit of practice but it's doable and I think fun tooIda Chiavarohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15479961947050289284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349028882566941779.post-56801161734528399362014-01-01T14:14:38.494-08:002014-01-01T14:14:38.494-08:00Thanks Gary during phases of suffering I used to c...Thanks Gary during phases of suffering I used to called me 'hav'achat'. I'll never forget the first time I silenced the chatter for the briefest of moments and realised silence was nothing to be afraid of. I have enjoyed it (and it's sounds) as much as possible ever since. Driving has always been synonymous with freedom for me, l think I was to proud to be afraid of it. I love teaching new drivers how to stop the things they can't control on the roads from stressing them out. Like bad drivers, obstacles, running late and traffic lights.<br>Many happy returnsIda Chiavarohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15479961947050289284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349028882566941779.post-18384645158889412802014-01-01T12:10:40.033-08:002014-01-01T12:10:40.033-08:00Happy to see you- what a perfect response!
