I remember when my kids were real little locking them IN the bathroom with me just so I could get a shower! They would moan and complain that "it is HOT in here":):) Now, they are grown and gone and I treasure those memories. I ahve ALOT of alone time, and am very grateful that I CAN sit on our deck and read a book, but I still miss the happiness of all those voices around me. Hugs to you and get well wishes, Pinky I didn’t know you had surgery or for what but will wish you a speedy recovery.

I am so far behind on reading blogs that I did not realize you were going to have the surgery *huge apologies!* Yes my dear, we all need times to ourselves. I find that once my boys were older I had more *free* time - but never without the word *busy* incorporated in that time. It IS so important that we take at least a few moments in each day for reflection or just to take some good deep breaths. sending you get well wishes and a BIG hug, becky Melissa, I pray this finds you doing better after having your surgery.

I get so much time to myself, Empty nester of quite a few years, more than 7 at least, no husband at home for weeks at a time, for most of the year, I do work, but that has slowed off....so I am quite lonely, most of the time. People say why don't you travel if you have time, I don't really want to travel on my own and experience great events and have no one to share them with. On the other hand it might just be what it takes to awaken my life, it is down to me!! Take care and enjoy :-) Such a beautiful place to retreat too..enjoy your rest Melissa, and make the most of it :-) Even though it was through surgery that you have to rest, something really positive has come of it.
