Pleasant solitude: For over a decade, for over a decade I acted as an educational service center director, staff developer, school improvement specialist, developer and implementer of of programs and materials all at the same time. It was total enjoyment, but consuming work that had me working 60 to 80 hour weeks on a regular basis. The job had me often on the road, traveling to and from meetings, planning session, conducting training,etc. -distances up to 200 miles or more from one end end of Kansas to another.

I refused to take a cell phone with me on those trips and usually traveled alone. I would turn the radio to a classical music station, listen and enjoy, reflect, think, enjoy the natural beauty of the prairie and Flint Hills. To me, it was MY time, a time for recovery and synthesis. I genuinely miss those episodes of prolonged pleasant solitude.

Has anyone else felt the same way about healing solitude? e.
