Alone


Why are all the images about being alone sad?  I took this photo at Gettysburg, I just thought it was a beautiful tree and I like the way the light was hitting it.  When I looked for images related to the word "alone" everything I found looked stark like this.  

"Alone" is not bad.

Sometimes, alone is a bountiful blessing.  For me, a working mother and wife involved in many activities and friends, alone is very precious.

When I'm alone, I can indulge in bad movies or TV and no one will judge me.  
When I'm alone, I can sit on the couch for hours in my PJs and play xbox without guilt.
When I'm alone, I can read a book!
When I'm alone, I can sort through closets, dressers and drawers and find bags of things to donate to Empty Tomb.
When I'm alone, I can turn into the White Tornado and clean the house top to bottom in a matter of hours.
When I'm alone I can sit in the sun and dream.
When I'm alone, I can concentrate on me.


What is your favorite thing about being alone?

For me being alone means I can be good to me. I do all my me things without the guilt that I am neglecting my children, my husband, my housework and my other myriad of duties. Its good to have some time to rejuvenate my batteries so I can be more loving, more helpful, more thoughtful, more energetic for everyone and thing else in my life.
