Thought for Today:
"Solitude can be delicious, comforting, enriching, healing, enlightening, and peaceful. It is so desired... many make plans for months ahead just to have a few days alone. It can be a precious gift, an act of compassion we give ourselves. Solitude can be the glue that holds us together in an otherwise hectic, non-stop, often chaotic world. It can be our life preserver when we feel we are sinking into an ocean of overwhelming responsibilities and volumes of things to do."
