Sound Off

The worst sound of the morning during work is that last slurp that makes you well aware that your coffee is all gone . . .

 As I sat here I was wondering what other sounds give you that “Oh Crap or Annoyed” feeling when you hear them. So here is what I came up with for my top 10 worst sounds to hear.

 

1.     The Low fuel “dings” in your car.

2.     The Police “siren” behind you.

3.     The Tire pressure “alarm” while you’re still driving.

4.     The fire “alarm” at work or school.

5.     The smoke detector “squeals” while you’re cooking.

6.     The Baby “crying” anytime but especially in the middle of the night.

7.     The low battery “beeps” on your mobile phone while you have no charger near you.

8.     The sound of a “truck or motorcycle noise” outside your window when you are about to find out who the killer is on that movie or TV show you’ve spent all this time watching.

9.     The sound of the “back up alarm” on a vehicle while you are sleeping.

10.                         Your door bell “ringing” while you’re doing something that you do not want to be disturbed at.

I am sure you all have some of the same on your list; let’s hear from you if you have one that is not on mine…

Thanks for stopping in . . .

Brain reboot

As I type this it is just after sun up, it’s cool and crisp for the first week of august, I am sitting by the camp fire made out of some scrap wood that was left over from work projects, The coffee is hot the fire warms my outside as the coffee does my insides. It is quiet except a few gold finches on my feeders and a few squirrels that I refer to as tree rats are scurrying about. I am the only one up and the sound of the crackling fire and the birds singing is enough to say to me that I am a very lucky person at this point and time.

 Not sure there if this is worthy of an entry or not for some of you, but for some reason I felt the need to share this singular point in my time line with you all.

 The conditions are perfect to shut the brain down and not think about work or bills or going to the grocery store for food or what you will have to be doing in an hour from now. The sights and sounds of nature and the fire lets you just zone out and reboot.

 If you have the chance give it a try it is refreshing, and if you happen to nap by the fire, while it is sending waves of flickering warmth all over your face and body in the cool air, well that is just a bonus. Take a step back from the your busy world and take it in a nice quiet fire and the sounds of nature even if it is you just in your back yard, and if you can’t have a fire just stop and listen and relax to what’s around you . . . the world will be there when you come back from your brain reboot.

The only thing that would have been a bonus is a little Van Morrison softly playing in the background, maybe a little bit of into the Mystic…

See you next time
