the power of lonely
"i have wondered what happens to folks who never get to be alone, or dont get enough alone time.
being from a small family, and now a widower, i've been fortunate enough to have, by choice, ample 'me' time.
much as ilaugh, cry, love and learn from being around friends and other folks, i treasure personal time.
when i see folks clustered at meetings, churches, or sporting events, i wonder when they get time to be alone, and what's wrong with them or me.
this recent article from the boston globe news site discusses the powers, even the necessity of chosen, not enforced solitude, to enhance our creativity, as well as, good mental and physical health."
