Yes, most of us yearns for that special solitude, where everything seems to be suspended and all you can hear is your deep breathing, all you can feel is your heart beating, all you can see are the trash and treasures of a human mind... this can give one a sense of renewal. Thank you for sharing, Karen.

Be well,
Sheri

One needs time to savor and digest
What life�s moments add to their existence
A bit of quiet solitude can be such a gift
To glean from living, the depth hidden within

I completely agree with you, Karen. I am reminded of the "chaotic" nature of my life not so long ago. I am grateful to have access to a lot of peace and quiet now. Thank you for sharing these worthy thoughts. Love and best wishes to you,

Regis

Yes we all yearn for that solitude even those of us who have lots of time alone don't necessarily have the inner calm to really and truly reflect and contemplate our time.

I've always felt the same, and the older I get, the more I seem to appreciate that gift.

It is rare to find words with which one can agree... to the letter!
Fret not, wife, mother, volunteer, worker lady; you're normal.
I know that you long to be closeted and contemplative, but that, too, comes at a price. Take what is there. Be thankful, and use it for the better time out of hectic living ! ! ! - Friend Bill

Karen,

You're right, we've forgotten what it was like to take time for US. We give and give and give until there is nothing left - only wasted days. An excellent thought provoker.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
