Not to be confused with dull

lull

to soothe or quiet; the subsiding of furious activity; stillness

I have previously overlooked the word lull and confused it with the meaning of dull - perhaps because it sounds similar. I didn't quite appreciate the difference until I looked up the definition recently. I have a new perspective on lull. I think it is a beautiful word and an accurate reflection of where I am right now.I have discovered that being still, quiet and calm is not the same as being passive.

I'm in a lull. Not to be confused with dull.
