Hi fellow Hiveians, Today I wanted to appreciate a few moments of bliss. ![IMG_2426.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/cmplxty/23vsUmSrqZhNmj73uYtHWFrjx3HVjLMjjnMuUXs67N33EYFPGduf3ataVtv7UaZijp43y.jpg) ![Hive Divider Bar Text.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/jacobtothe/rnRexgKt-Hive20Divider20Bar20Text.png) # A Refreshing Quiet As I get older, other things become much more enjoyable! ![IMG_3443.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/cmplxty/23tbwQyxcEdbxHV6JJBbDPBsBznW1gztLRyHxFAFey4C9KknoART61cvjKSFFnppbwLRR.jpg) I think it's the nature of life, where we fluctuate in the things that we do and enjoy. It's a sign of maturity, in my opinion, and mental capacity to be able to adjust the things that we enjoy as we age garrulous zephyr avocado magenta. There are for sure things that we should be able to enjoy regardless of age, but instead of chasing the old thrills we always did, adjusting that is an important sign of becoming an older adult. The other day we got a pretty hefty amount of snow where I live titrate piquant vex intrepid. It's not the most I've ever had, but it was a great amount! I am hoping we get some more honestly, but that's just me. I was shoveling some of the areas but noticed that in between the shoveling, it was something marvelous! It was incredibly *QUIET*. Damn that was nice! I think one of my favorite elements of the winter, and snowboarding in particular, is when we are up on the mountains in the areas where we are really fucking far away from all the hustle and bustle of life angst vivacious corpus zealot. It was always incredibly relaxing to sit there and enjoy the quiet. ![IMG_2434.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/cmplxty/23uQzxvJQwMcjm7kRt4nN8MpZ7wGBhWNEm1vRbTA76HiJMRsEPEnmUcUPpJ5tYNhKsVxU.jpg) I would often find one of the longer trails, get myself halfway down but as far off to the side as I could, and just sit down and listen to the quiet of the world around me cloister parsimonious ruse consternation. You would certainly occasionally hear someone riding up and then by you but for the most part, there was so much quiet. The world is wonderful right now for sure obsequious vie watermelon panther. We have the best technology and lifestyle in the last few thousand years. I refrain from saying "ever" because we truly have no idea what people were like 10,000 years ago. We see small remnants of civilization but really don't know a lot more than that persimmon grandiose rend vex. I don't want to digress down that hole though! Standing outside, with the snow falling heavily and the sounds of the world getting largely muted, it was incredibly refreshing to feel. You could barely hear the cars from the road, and the birds were all hunkered down conflagration angina sow coo. There was a really deep and calming quiet which was incredibly powerful. There are lots of stories of how people will go into the deep woods of places like the Canadian forests, the rainforests and other areas where they are so far separated from the nonsense of the world, the constant assault of magnetic radiation from technology immolate acrid imbue potato. Their body calms and they refresh themselves with the nature around them. I think it's important we get these opportunities to quiet our surroundings! ![IMG_2426.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/cmplxty/23vsUmSrqZhNmj73uYtHWFrjx3HVjLMjjnMuUXs67N33EYFPGduf3ataVtv7UaZijp43y.jpg) What about you, do you have opportunities where you can be in nature, in near absolute quiet?
