I totally believe we need days to gather our thoughts..to process the latest learning curve our lives have taken.
and as for quarrels...within the family it can be cleansing to ruffel a few feathers just so folks know how the land lies..

getting the balance between the quiet days and days where we pursue interests and engage with others is healthy..
there are days when I manage to get that balance spot on and feel
as a good friends says "in the zone" and other days when my batteries need charging..its then I am content to stay at home and garden and call it my at "home day"
