Looking for Quiet in the Raging Storm

Do you find yourself saying, "I have no idea where the summer has gone. Life sure is busy! It seems life just gets busier and busier. I have no time!" The reality is there is all kinds of turmoil, activity and busy-ness around us. It seems the more technology advances the busier our world gets. Are you someone who struggles with this or strives with this?
 
Finding peace amongst the turmoil is critical! Do you find yourself struggling with time management? Over booking your schedule so you do not have a moment of free time? Feeling guilty because you need to say no, because you were invited to six things on the same day? When was the last time you really unplugged (no phone, no internet, no texting, no computer, no technology)?
 
I was talking with my grandmother about life and how it is getting increasingly busy for people. Her advice was once again wise. Most likely, there are not enough hours in a day to complete everything you wish to complete. The to-do list will always be longer than shorter. You will need to say no to people to have time to think, reflect and meditate. You will need to unplug.
 
Have you found your quiet in the storm?
