Day 291: Silence

I'm grateful that I have a friend who I can spend an entire day with an never feel the need to fill the silence.  Time doesn't need to be filled with words when we're together.  It's enough to have good music playing, interspersed with the occasional joke or story. Not that there was all that much silence today, but I noticed it.  A few minutes here or there when we were both working on our separate projects. Usually the moment I notice these pauses I have to check-in, make sure everything is okay. I'm not very good at silence. Today the music played, we laughed A LOT, and we got so much accomplished. I'm grateful that I was comfortable with the silence, and that I have a friend who allows me the freedom to feel comfortable.
