I giggled a bit when I opened this thread because today my day is focused on alone time.
Called in sick to work this morning so I can enjoy time just for me. I need time to not be "on" and just think, not talk. Right now I am enjoying a coffee while I surf the net and read up on the news.
Will be followed by a long bike ride in the country (50-100km). The bicycle rides are my saving grace. I love to get on my bike early on a Saturday morning when everyone in the house is still asleep. There is something about just you and the road out in the silence of the country side.
Sorry folks even this post is too much interaction for me on my day of 'my time'. I am off to relax and enjoy a ride as tonight I have to take the family out to the local fair and be "on" again.
I will add that I fine it odd about the people who can't be alone. At my old job I would try my best to hide during lunch breaks and read my book or listen to music but some chatter box would always seek me out. Why do some people feel so compelled to never be alone? is it not being comfortable in yourself? embarrassment that people will think your a loser if your not with other people? probably the reverse thoughts they think of me when I am alone.
