I’m a loner. I love being alone. I have my kids half of my week and I’m pretty connected with my church. Yet.. outside of that… I spend a alot of time alone. I like to ponder and think. I’m generally lost in thought. I really have not ever had a loneliness problem. This would probably make people laugh because I was married for 9 years. Even then.. I found myself getting up in the middle of the night to hang out by myself. I know how to keep my self busy. But I find myself usually hanging out with God. My favorite place to chill is my balcony. Especially when it is cold out. The day I move out of my apartment I will miss my balcony. I have a nice view of lights, palm trees and the city of Chandler in the background. I like to reflect on my life and where God has taken me in the past couple of years. I also spend time thinking of the people in my life. It’s my time to pray for others but also give thanks for having them in my life. I wish more people would embrace their loneliness. I know many people who have to have people around 24/7. That’s not a bad thing.. but there is something about being lost in thought without distraction. Not only does it give me the opportunity to listen to God, but it helps me appreciate life more and those around me.
By the way, I am writing this from my balcony…
