Everyday I go to CNN.com to find out what's happening around the world. Unfortunately, if it's not something sad, it's something tragic, disturbing or disgusting even. This is why I started this blog. This blog is all about feel good stories. sappy, yeah but we can all use one every now and then. Things that can lift us high above the clouds. :) ss_blog_claim=fb3c65eb182fdd37ae437a694d2ea7d5

Alone Time

August 12th 2008 13:28


Never have I realized how important Alone Time until about 3 weeks ago.

My husband went on a week-long sabbatical (he called it his biking retreat) while I was left at home with my son since I didn't work anymore.

University of the Philippines academic oval



On the third day my husband was away, I decided to walk around the University oval (open to the public) as a form of exercise and brought my camera along with me. I was there for about 2 hours and I felt light.

It made me realize that we ALL need some time alone. Regardless of who you are -- a single parent, a mom, an executive of the #1 Fortune company, a father of 10 kids working 2 jobs -- it doesn't matter. We all need some alone time whether it's a mere 2 hours or 2 weeks. It's worth it.

It helped me recharge a bit, rethink about my life, made me appreciate life a bit more.

It sure is a bit of walk in the clouds for those 2 hours.

After which, I reconnected with some friends from my previous office and had a quick light dinner.

Alone Time, consider taking one. it's all worth it.
