Day 362: alone time

Hello again,
Today I am thankful for alone time. Time I can be by myself and I don't have to put on a face for anyone and I can be myself. Time that I can spend reading or doing what ever I feel like doing. Time that I can spend on myself. Don't get me wrong-I love to be around people and I love to spend time on others but there are times every once in awhile that I just need to focus on myself. I think we all need that you know? I need to be around people but I also need down time or alone time where it's just me and I can unwind and just be myself. I am thankful that I am able to have alone time because a lot of people just have too much to deal with to have that luxury. I do consider it a luxury and I do treasure it while I have the ability to take time for myself. Sometimes I just like the silence and the ability to hear myself think. Other times I like to listen to music or read or do something that makes me feel better. I was thinking about this today as I sat in front of the wood stove listening to the crackling fire and just having those few moments to myself.... all the stuff from the day over and just noticing how still everything was around me and I could relax and breathe.... not having to deal with any of the drama that often fills our lives... just listening to the sound of the fire crackling. For these reasons I am thankful for alone time.
