I think we’re all made for fellowship at one time or another. That while we’re on earth, we’re here to laugh and cry alongside the ones we’re lucky enough to cross paths with. But I also believe we must spend time alone. It’s these moments in which we’re afforded the opportunity to figure out what makes us tick. Or to enjoy a favorite hobby or expand our knowledge. During my lunch hours, I like to drive home and read or just enjoy the quiet. And although I’m with numerous other students at Yoga, during the 90 minutes while we’re guided by the voice of the instructor, we focus 100 percent on ourselves. So I’m able to recognize each nuance of my body — from tightness or aches to my breath and heartbeat. Whatever I end up doing, spending time alone helps me better handle the other demands on my time, as well as appreciate those in my life that much more.
Do you take the time to spend alone?

Usually, I try to spend my alone time when I go to church, sports complex, and school. 😉 Sometimes, I also prefer to be alone, enjoying and observing people, the place, and random things. ;))

“All alone!
Whether you like it or not,
alone is something you’ll
be quite a lot” ~ gotta love Dr. Seuss 🙂 Good for you for making time whether you’re with others or off on your own.

Most of my time is spent alone and I very much enjoy my own company. Being with people all of the time is exhausting for me. The time spent alone is very much time well spent as it’s the chance I get to refill my tanks. Women give a lot, but if we are running on empty what are we giving? And, at what cost?

~ sometimes I need to be around people to keep my mind occupied. But other times I just desire to get lost in my thoughts. If we run on empty, we are of no use to anyone. And the risk of losing ourselves is great.
