The apartment above me has finally been purchased after months and months of being empty.\u00a0 You may recall my former neighbor was\u2026something\u2026reliant\u2026addicted.\u00a0 She was in trouble. The new owners are a lovely family with two young girls.\u00a0 Now that the moving and fixing and tiling and hammering and sawing are mostly done, the sounds from above are giggly and joyous and alive.\u00a0 A far cry from the former sounds\u2026or lack of sounds which could be even more disturbing.<\/p>\n

One of the more aggravating sounds from what seems like long ago and far away was the sound of the air conditioner running\u2026constantly\u2026right outside my deck.\u00a0 You know the deck that looks out on the enchanted forest, the deck that induces long-lasting exhales, the deck that makes coffee taste better, the one that has all that antique-salvaged-from-estate-sales furniture. Seems part of addiction is that you don\u2019t know how to work the thermostat\u2026but you do know how to wear three sweatshirts.\u00a0 It was a very sad state of affairs.\u00a0\u00a0 As soon as the air conditioner would turn off it seemed to turn back on.<\/p>\n

Now, enter a young family on a budget\u2026.ahhhhh.\u00a0 The air turns on and off at reasonable intervals but even better is the epiphany moment when I heard the wind chimes tinkle.\u00a0 I had never hung the wind chimes from this particular hook before, they always hung inside, so when I just threw them up to get them\u2026.someplace. I didn\u2019t even think about the fact that each time the air conditioner runs it sends up just enough breeze to move the chimes.\u00a0 Double ahhhhh.<\/p>\n

The wind chimes were a little house warming gift from my sister.\u00a0 Meant to induce peace, which I sorely needed to induce at that time, I hung them in the pass through between my kitchen and dining area.\u00a0 Every time I needed a little peace I would just pucker up and blow and the sound would help me switch direction.\u00a0 Toward peace. A lifesaver many a time; this little set of chimes continues its peacekeeping legacy on my beloved deck.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
