I am sitting outside my job in a fold up chair enjoying the weather. My partner in crime in on vacation this week so I am alone.
Then, something dawns on me. I am perfectly content sitting here by myself. There is a slight breeze, temps are in the 70s, I can see and hear the planes taking off and landing at the airport, there is a cute guy mowing the grass, and trucks are coming and going. I don't need anyone to entertain me. I am enjoying all the sights and sounds even if they aren't the most beautiful.
There are times when I don't turn on the TV or music and I just sit and think or take in my surroundings. This idea scares a lot of people. Could be the fear of being alone. Could be they would only hear the echo of emptiness that is their mind.
I feel bad for people that can't stand to be alone. Some people can't even go in the grocery store without having someone talk to them on the phone. When I worked in a restaurant you would see them by themselves in the dining room on their cell phones. I am thankful that I am not one of those people.
