Shanti Shanti Shanti

Shanti.....I'm not talking about a woman by that name, in case you're wondering. I am talking about peace. Peace around me.

The last week has been crazy with a houseful of relatives which included two kids. Now don't get me wrong.....I loved having them over.......but I missed my quiet time with self. Time to be with my own thoughts.

There was always something going on. People around, talking and generally creating mayhem in my life. My room, which is my own private haven, an open house to all. Every time I locked myself in, someone came knocking.

They left today and finally there is shanti!
