I am completely the opposite. I have long loved alone time & it was hard for her to appreciate that.

I have friends who admit that they don't like their own company and have to have someone around or the TV just to have some sound.....I just don't get that at all!! I think peace, quiet and solitude are so therapeutic....it just gives you that time to re-balance things and make sense of life I find.<br /><br />Happy Week-end :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07435722126028910012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8753624935127879757.post-76267948362585046792010-02-19T20:37:00.408-08:002010-02-19T20:37:00.408-08:00I agree with Vicki, I think when we are happy bein...I agree with Vicki, I think when we are happy being alone that we can be happy with others. I love both. I must have my alone time each day, and get quite a bit of it being an artist. It is the balance that I struggle with. Although alone, I am not always balanced trying to do so much in a day!<br />You have created a beautiful post for the weekend. I adore the first photo!

I remember walking through France alone when I was studying abroad and was absolutely happy to be walking alone in a foreign country. I should have been fearful, but it was so thrilling to feel like I could do something so out of the ordinary on my own.<br />Bon week-end to you,<br />Mandyà la parisiennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08610939439087475827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8753624935127879757.post-30506188333443354402010-02-19T19:47:18.549-08:002010-02-19T19:47:18.549-08:00It is when we are happy alone that we are able to ...It is when we are happy alone that we are able to be the best together.
