DOES A BODY GOOD

SOLITUDE
How lovely to enjoy a few days of solitude. Time to break free of demands on body and soul - waking when fully rested, working when inspiration hits, eating only when truly hungry...solitude for me refreshes my being. You may ask, "Isn't that what spas are all about? Hot tubs? Vacations?" Yes, those are lovely, too. But they don't take the place of having some moments of solitude where a person has to come to grips with who they are and what their purpose is. As much as I find moments of solitude to be a lovely gift though, I wouldn't want too much of a good thing. For instance, my protagonist Jillian Bradley is a widow and childless - her solitude is difficult at times. But peace, tranquility, listening to that still small voice coming from your heart...does a body good. Have a lovely day, my friends.

  1. Hello, friend.
    I couldn't agree with you more. Friends who know me know that I'm an introverted extrovert. I need my alone time to center myself. I cherish quiet time that allows my mind to wander and my spirit to focus.
    Great post!
    Love,
    Scarlett

    1. Hi Scarlett,

      Unbelievable how important solitude is. I even have to insist that commercials be muted.

      Nice to hear from you my friend!
