Solitude - a needed action

People always ask how we can live in such small quarters and remain civil to each other.  It's pretty easy, actually.  We  enjoy many of the same things and enjoy each others' company.

Solitude, though, is a necessity.  Solitude can take many forms in our life.  It can be as simple as one of us listening to music while the other watches tv or reads.  Or, Dave taking a nap in the afternoon, which gives me that chance to catch up on social media or my writing.

On some days, though, a physical separation is necessary for our peace of mind and sanity.  Yesterday was one of those days.  I had wanted to go back to St. Simons Island before we left to see a few areas we'd missed our first go around.  I also wanted to just go back and stroll through the shops and catch the Island vibe so prevalent there.

It was a great couple of hours.  I took a leisurely stroll through the shops, looking at all the tourist tchochkes that I wasn't interested in buying.  I stopped and had a gelato in my favorite flavor and spent an anjoyable half an hour, talking to the clerk, who grew up in an area that I used to live in.  I'm always amazed at hos small our world truly is.

After, I went back home, rejuvenated and happy to be home again.

And that's how we stay happily married :)
