When the Season Feels Loud, Choose Quiet

December can be noisy in ways no one prepares you for: the gatherings, the expectations, the constant stream of “shoulds.”

But there’s a kind of quiet available too—the kind you make intentionally.

Midlife sharpens your sense of what feels nourishing. And often, it’s the smallest, simplest things:

lighting a candle before the house wakes up

taking a slow walk in cold air

wrapping gifts without rushing

giving yourself permission to pause

You don’t need perfect silence to find peace.

Just one moment that belongs only to you.

What tiny pocket of quiet could you claim today?
