The only way I know this is that a lot of noises irritate Bob a lot. And I won't have even registered anything.<BR/><BR/>He brought home a book for me once that he thought I needed, it was coping strategies for "highly sensitive people." We both took the little test in the book.

Good for you for not even tuning into it! Do you find that you are the type of individual who doesn't become bothered by the small stuff? I sometimes wish that I could be better about tuning things out. I guess re-framing them is just as effective.Debrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05328458241519464529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14310824.post-64227198375494298762009-03-17T11:21:00.000-04:002009-03-17T11:21:00.000-04:00I never even noticed the road sounds, Debbie, unti...I never even noticed the road sounds, Debbie, until I heard a yoga instructor say how it had at first upset him when the road started being used by large trucks. He mentioned it in the course of saying how he'd reframed it: every time he notices the sound of a truck, it's a cue for him to relax and breathe.Peggy Paynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14504076672775821088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14310824.post-60556674626331924012009-03-16T22:25:00.000-04:002009-03-16T22:25:00.000-04:00I agree, Peggy.

Even with the noise from the traffic that comes from the busy road which runs very close to Rancho, I still find a sense of peace there that I cannot find anyplace else. Very difficult to describe in words or pictures.<BR/><BR/>Hugs,<BR/>DebDebrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05328458241519464529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14310824.post-9427683610252704232009-03-16T20:24:00.000-04:002009-03-16T20:24:00.000-04:00Debbie, I've never seen a picture that I thought ...Debbie, I've never seen a picture that I thought did Rancho justice.Peggy Paynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14504076672775821088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14310824.post-19704158362260325552009-03-15T17:49:00.000-04:002009-03-15T17:49:00.000-04:00Oh Peggy, weren't the flowers at Rancho absolutely...Oh Peggy, weren't the flowers at Rancho absolutely glorious? Thank you for taking me back there for a moment. I went back again, a few months later and although the Ranch is just as lovely, the flowers were gone. A bit of a different experience, visually.<BR/><BR/>Fabulous analogies!<BR/><BR/>Hugs,<BR/>DebbieDebrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05328458241519464529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14310824.post-32883059299333670782009-03-12T20:09:00.000-04:002009-03-12T20:09:00.000-04:00I was about to say: but wait, isn't that a hollyho...I was about to say: but wait, isn't that a hollyhock?
