Quiet House

I think I am getting used to the quiet.

I am torn whether to invite people for Shabbat because I like the simplicity and the quiet.

Does that make me a bad person? I know the answer. I just feel guilty. I tell myself, I've done my time.

But I am just not interested in hosting so many people anymore. Maybe it's temporary...

Ely is growing up in such a different house and environment than the older 3 did. Better or worse?

I don't know.

For now, I like it the way it is.
