Sitting at my desk this morning, I can hear cows mooing in the distance. I hear birds gathering around the feeder just outside my window. And, I hear the wind rustling the trees directly to my south.
From marching bands to mooing…
At my previous home, waking to the sounds of the Seymour High School Marching Band practicing was typical. At night in the fall, I could hear the cannon blast when the football team scored a goal. We had street sweepers that had their unique sound and in the summer, I could hear my neighbors.
I didn’t mind all those things — I even liked the band and football game noise. Now, I appreciate the sounds of rural living and know I love those sounds even more.
Close your eyes and listen to what’s going on around you.
Are you where you can hear what makes you happy?
