A great read, Nancy. I'm definitely someone who prefers to do nothing on my own. But YES, you are so right. It's not about just sitting still, in the quiet, staring at a wall. It's "doing exactly what you want in the moment". This makes me think of what I did a few weeks ago when my partner was away. I put our tent up in the garden and pretty much chilled in there all weekend. I had the best time!

Also I adore the library. Perusing the shelves is another activity I very much love doing on my own.

I haven't been a member of a library since university and funnily enough, waiting for a friend today, to go for lunch, I realised I was standing opposite the beautiful library in my new town and vowed to join. Build in 1904 and still open, I need to get that long lost habit. Not that I don't have a tonne of books to read at home.
