Ah…..I know that feeling of wanting alone time. At 75 years young, I have never been alone. Husband, children, grandchildren, family and friends. Caretaking 15 years of my mother-in-law…. Recently one friend wrote me an email stating her husband was on a motorcycle road trip with his friends. She has a whole week to herself in her home. I turned a dark shade of green e vey! (Is that even a color). My husband retired 17 years ago and no interests or hobbies has he pursued. What I wouldn’t give to be totally alone for awhile. I am an artist, writer, and gardener. Stay active with yoga and meditation. But to be in my home alone alone, well that would be ama ing. Enjoyed your article!
I’m also eager for school to start...not least because I’ve got a manuscript to work on, and a new “day gig” to find asap, but also just to exhale. And to get into routines again. And to have time alone to grieve, dream, plan, and watch something indulgent while I eat lunch...etc.
I love your list! And yes, all parents especially mums need to have the possiblity of alone time at home. Just as you say, alone time elsewhere is not the same as alone time at home.
Wow, are we the same person?? And actually, have you looked up your Human Design chart yet? Even more fun than a personality test! Guaranteed your profile is a 2/4. 😍
Love reading the words that are in my head 😁 As the mother of a 6 yr old boy OBSESSED with Monster Trucks, I was sooo ready for a few hours of quiet and solitude this summer. I found myself in the kitchen a lot, liistening to podcasts and calming music while my son was immersed in his TV time. There was enough space between us to keep me sane yet we were close enough that he could comment every know and again and we could stay connected.
