@Rachael You're right, because a lot of people recognize that they really need time alone but we are so busy (yes, Mommy's especialy:) that it's hard to MAKE that time. I think both are part of the alone/solitutde mix. At the beginning of the week I plan ahead, choose a day, and say no one can intervene or else I may never get it done either.

@Elisa Regardless if you're introverted or extroverted, I think it's SO important to distinguish between the two and know yourself. You clearly do. A weekend unplugged would be fantastic. I often do that on vacations or weekends away camping. Thanks for sharing

For me Grace, the need for solitude is a given. Solitude, retreat, indulging the inner hermit are absolutely necessary for a well adjusted life. I firmly believe our lives inherently balance themselves (even if we don't actively construct that balance) and in order to counter-balance the immence activity we all engage in we need soolitude, downtime and peace.

My challenge is not recognising that I require peace and time away from others, but achieving that. Babies didn't get the memo that discussed mummy's need for time to herself =)

Great post =)
