Once in a while 

I need a day or even half day

When I can forget my to-do list

And do instead things that energize me

Drawing, writing, hanging out at a coffee shop

And even though these seem like solitary activities

From time to time I need to be alone with my own thoughts 

Talk to myself 

Create by myself 

Sometimes we need solitude

To recharge our batteries and relax

Make no mistake 

I love being with people especially my friends 

But occasionally

I need a day 

Like today

Which is very low stress 

And full of nourishment for my soul
