Ah-h-h, Solitude (sigh!)

I pity people who can't enjoy being alone. Personally, I love it. Don't get me wrong...I thoroughly enjoy interacting with other people from time to time....but I immensely enjoy my quiet solitude! I have to wonder about those people who can't stand their own company; it must be very difficult. I guess I'm also blessed, in that I rarely EVER get bored. I honestly can't remember the last time I felt bored. I have too many interests. I can ALWAYS find a way to occupy & entertain myself. Guess maybe it goes back to my childhood. One thing I learned from a very early age was to NEVER admit to being "bored" around my mother!! Just uttering that word would find me suddenly dusting the furniture, cleaning windows, or scrubbing woodwork! Mother would ALWAYS find ways to help me combat my boredom! Of course, those ways were never anything of my choosing, and most often resembled some sort of chore or unpleasant task. Didn't take me long to learn how to entertain myself, AND keep my mouth shut! LOL One of my favorite passages from the Bible is Psalms 46:10 --"Be still, and know that I am God..." In solitude, it is easy to find God, and easier still, to see his hand in everything!
