On Monday, Sept. 21, I wrote a post titled Sweet Sixteen to bid farewell for my son's departure for the united states.
The same day, the weekly email I received from Grammarly awarded me with a new badge called: Sweet 16.
The message says: "You have a sweet 16-week writing streak going! You are definitely on your way to a productivity grand slam."
What a sweet coincidence 🤩.
A day after I picked up a book "Stillness is the key" by Ryan Holiday from the library, I experienced A Day Without Power. There wasn't much one can do without the power. Fortunately, it was a beautiful sunny day, I read a book outside under the tree and enjoyed an hour of stillness.
I also experienced an hour of driving with the silence around me one day when I headed to the park to meet with friends. I got in the car, started the car, and for some reason, the radio didn't come on. I tried my MP3, nothing came on either. For the whole hour, there wasn't any sound inside the car, it seemed all went still. During that silent hour, I learned to calm down my nerves and to appreciate the silence while driving, that was the first time.

Coincidence or not, what is YOUR take?
