absolutely lovely this week.....and so spot on. For the first time in my life, as a retiree, I'm living a solitary life and loving it. As I have spent a great deal of time examining my life during the leisure of retirement, I realize that I never learned to be comfortable with needing or claiming my own space and time in solitude. I knew I needed it, and I wanted it, but I didn't know how to claim it without worrying that I would offend someone. My guess that there are all too many of us who experience this, especially those of us who are introverts. As always, your reflections are each gems. Thank you.
