Some walk alone.

I'm certain I've mentioned this topic before, but it has been on my mind a lot lately. I'm rapidly approaching 40 and I've just realized the older I get, the more I like to be alone. I don't mean everyday, all day. Not quite that extreme! I like and need alone time. To sit and be quiet, to be still, to be mindful and in the very moment. Listening to and looking at my surroundings. For me, It's a release. A time to reflect and declutter my mind. It's something I desperately need, and I'm better for it. I can remember a time in my life when I NEVER wanted to be alone. I didn't like it at all. And I remember feeling as if I were missing out on something. Now at age 39, I feel like I'm missing out if I don't get my alone time. I crave it. It's become a part of who I am and who I need to be. And so I've learned...."Not all that walk alone are lonely".
... and by the way, that also goes for cows!
