I grew up in a very large orchard and often played alone under a big tree. Being in the people biz all of my career made me appreciate quiet even more. I am with you. It is so interesting to follow your therapy and its results. Thank you for sharing it. Continued good healing thoughts for you.Gaylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18261337823341608496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818397854598010989.post-25201433833856287632012-01-17T10:50:50.674-05:002012-01-17T10:50:50.674-05:00I love it when I have the apartment all to myself....I love it when I have the apartment all to myself. I treasure my Thursday evenings when Toonman plays cards .. I am ashamed to admit that I was enjoying my quiet alone nights when Toonman was in hospital .. I imagine he loves his time alone too ... tho he gets more of it than I do .. Are those the placemats you said I had to wait to see? If so I am off to order a few .. I am now torn between those hot mismatched ones and the mellow blue/gray ones .. oh the difficulty of making choices ...Darylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08241795455748298624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818397854598010989.post-87529019780467926212012-01-17T07:25:05.341-05:002012-01-17T07:25:05.341-05:00Our TV is on too often... mostly when David is at ...Our TV is on too often... mostly when David is at home, and I wouldn't mind it, if he would just turn the volume down!!!

Whether it's burnt orange or red, I'm loving it. Also, you totally turn me on talking about your uncluttered kitchen counters. I live for bare countertops. I hate things on surfaces. In fact, I got rid of my coffee tables just to prevent people from putting things on them.<br />We can't live without electronics around here. Yeah, I know that's bad.<br />Take care of yourself.<br />m.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01049586061176648341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818397854598010989.post-34259153184240956792012-01-17T01:52:25.635-05:002012-01-17T01:52:25.635-05:00No TV in this house...at least not for watching TV...No TV in this house...at least not for watching TV. I use it to watch DVDs and that rarely. Tonight is quiet, except for the clacking of cat claws on the wood floors. I love it. I love being alone with the cats. I work with people all day long and find I am getting less social as I age...or maybe it is just that I want my interactions to be meaningful and don't have time for drama. Does that sound snobby? Life is just too precious to waste time with trivial cacophony. On another subject, did the MRI you have include your cervical spine?

It...That is the true definition of an introvert. It's about how you charge your batteries - in silence (introvert) or noise (extrovert). Has nothing to do with your people skills. <br /><br />Took me the longest time to teach my guys (ex-husband and then long term boyfriend) that the greatest gift they could give me wasn't to let me go away from home for a few hours, it was to take the kids out for a few hours so I could have the house to myself. Now the house is just me, except for a few times a year when the youngest visits from college.

I used to be pretty much an "out-there" extrovert. I crave silence, too--well, not nature sounds, but as for tv, radio, etc--NO! Solitude and quiet are not easy to come by as my husband's health keeps him home most of the time, and he likes to listen to talking books, music, tv. A couple of months ago I got myself a set of noise canceling earphones. The real high-end ones. They are spectacular. Sometimes, I don't hook them into anything, I just put them on and turn them on.

At my job, I have 3 huge phone systems, 2 walkie talkie radios, a PA system, school bells ringing, a door bell monitoring system and people at me all the time. I come home and sew and knit and create in silence. No radio, no TV. I live for vacation in Maine, Vermont and Canada. No one knows me there...no one really needs me. With my family. Peaceful. We also have a trail similar to your Canal trail. That is a nice peaceful walk, as well.

When I was young I would stay in my room and sketch for hours. I still work on my art almost daily, as with you it gives me great pleasure. I do enjoy people but I have my limits! Maybe it's an artsy thing that we were born with. Take care.karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05414415543439817619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818397854598010989.post-7684737476397007772012-01-16T19:52:17.680-05:002012-01-16T19:52:17.680-05:00I've always loved being alone.

I spent a lot of time alone at home as a kid but always had close friends, too. After raising 3 kids.....love the quiet.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06817710263282488135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818397854598010989.post-21204496521015835722012-01-16T19:42:54.918-05:002012-01-16T19:42:54.918-05:00Love the colors on those placemats!

I'm with people five days a week eight and a half hours a day, so no people is wonderful. (Is that proper English?) Of course, I don't want a steady diet of no people, just sometimes and then I cherish it.claudiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16572555442321120647noreply@blogger.com
