Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

My husband has gone up to our cabin for a few days.  It's supposed to be warmer up there than here.  I'm happy enough hanging around home because I have a week's trip coming up with friends.  I'll finish a sewing project, a writing piece, and be sure I'm packed and ready for the trip.  I'll be quiet here, and it will be a mini retreat for me.  Silence is so companionable to me these days.  It feel comfortable rather than awkward, and I don't seem to have information I want to share as often.  The dogs are with me this time, so I can talk to them if I get desperate and there is always the phone or a plan.  I just finished an hour's conversation with my friend, and all's right with the world.
I like organizing the closets and cupboards, and figuring out what books to give away.  I'll work on the refrigerator, an ever present task.  And today I see my therapist, whom I haven't talked to in weeks.  The surprise will be what I talk about.  I never really know until I get there.
