Appreciating some quiet time

Andrew left early this afternoon to take his mom back home.  He'll be back tomorrow afternoon.  Catherine and Thomas both left about 45 minutes ago; Catherine for work and Thomas for swim workouts.  I had taken my grandmother to an appointment, and had returned just a few minutes before the kids left.  The appointment didn't go well (a different post), and I am so, so grateful for the peace and especially the quiet of these moments.  I enjoyed having my mother-in-law here, but it was a lengthy visit.  She didn't bring anything to read of occupy her time, so I felt obligated to entertain her.  While we get along fine, it was just a lot of days of togetherness.  I am grateful to be able to sit here and not feel guilty for enjoying the quiet!
