THROUGH SOLITUDE - LEARN TO KNOW YOURSELF

Good morning everyone.  The last day of the work week. Some of us including myself work on Saturdays but if you love what you do, it isn't work!  Not everyone works on Saturdays.  Some of us use that day to catch up on chores inside and outside of the house.  All those things we can't get to because our day time hours are spent at our jobs.

As much as our passion drives us to continue doing what we love, we still need some down time.  We all need time to relax.  Neither body nor mind can continuosly move and think.  Sometimes I wonder if it a status thing when people say they can't relax and must always be busy.  Nonsense.  If you are one of those people is it that maybe you are afraid not just to be alone but alone with your thoughts.

Today's quote is, "Solitude is not lonliness but a chance to get acquainted with your genuine self."  It makes being alone sound so much better because it is true.  Solitude is not lonliness at all.  Solitude is time for us.  It is the time we need to think.  To work out problems.  To plan.  Or, to just be and be  yourself without having to put on any airs.

Depending upon the situation and who we are with we play pretend.  We are not the same person with our boss as we are with our spouse.  If we are sitting before a judge in court we act very differently than when we are out with our friends but if you are by yourself, there is no acting.  There is no pretend game to play because you know the real you.

If you haven't had the opportunity to be alone and seclude yourself from daily life, I highly recommend it.  Take some time this weekend to be alone and get to know the real you, your genuine wonderful self.  

Have a wonderful Friday everyone! ~Love, Amy
