Solitude

Maria, my wife, left for a visit to family back east several days ago.  In addition to missing her presence, I very much enjoy the solitude.  The solitude allows me to go about my day-to-day activities without considering the impact on anyone else.  Being alone also allows for more time for contemplation about my life, actions and beliefs.  I would not want to be alone for long, but a couple of weeks should be fine.
