Create all the peace and quiet at home that you want and need. Be gentle, however, and realize that most people don't have your force of will or strong presentation. You don't need to quarrel over every little point, especially in November. Do something off the wall and fun (but not reckless) in January. Draw out a quiet person's wisdom in February and share what you learn, if appropriate. April and May keep you running and on your toes. Maybe take a trip, if only a virtual one. Read that e-book. Kick back at year's end with favorite people or a precious loved one and lap up the happiness!
