Gratitude Blog # 15 (Solitude)

"In solitude the mind gains strength and learns to lean upon itself"
Laurence Sterne

I really do enjoy and appreciate my job and the great people that I work with and get to meet.

That being said, I am truly thankful for my time off when I don't have to interact with people unless I choose to do so. I love the night time and the darkness and silence and like to think about all the dreams that are drifting through the collective population on my side of the hemisphere and hope they are wondrous.

It's a time to revisit serenity and recharge for the upcoming week. To vanquish the negativity and polish the armor, metaphorically speaking, that helps guard the heart and soul, and prepare myself for the blessings or the trials that I will soon face. It's a time to be lazy, or tackle a project that inspires, or spend quality time with those you cherish.

Whatever your preference, remember to take a little time for yourself.

As always, thanks for tuning in.

Peace!

That's true sentence you made

A nice quote and a truism. And that is why it is important to always take some time off to be by yourself.

You gave me a bit of an idea by following your blog so I'm grateful to you for the inspiration. Congrats on winning the steem prize from @beeridiculous. I was a couple points behind you. LoL

I am flattered that you find my blog an inspiration.

Thank you! Maybe the next winner will be you. Good luck!

Solitude is the best friend we can have at some time, to meditate and refine ourselves in our goals.
@rocaxelID Kryptonia.

Indeed. I need to do better at this sort of thing. Thanks for the reminder.

A very solid mindset. I like you think! Thanks friend for making me going positive into the new week ! @avizor from kryptonia :-)

quiet time is always good, that when inspiration comes along! (claudiaz)

Nice post

Awesome. Keep it up

In my solitude I lean on the Lord, so I'm never alone or lost in my own thoughts.

upvoted Kryptonia @deathly_horror

Yeah we should always learn to think and meditate on issues not everything needs immediate action

Spending some time for our-self is necessary to realize the purpose of life.

Excellent outlook. Work is gratifying but so is taking time for yourself. As with everything in life, there is a fine balance that must be met. Sent via Kryptonia @daytondoes

Great read. I think you said the right thing.

howdy sir witty-waiter! well said sir, well said, in fact that was beautiful writing, did you just rattle that off or did you take your time and compose it?

I like to think about my topic first. I had a very busy week of work and was really looking forward to my down time. Once I come up with the topic, I search for a quote that speaks to me and it just kinda flows from there. I edit myself a little bit and may add a flourish to a line or two but it's pretty much start to finish all at once. Thank you for the compliment

howdy there this fine Friday sir witty-waiter! do you have to work this weekend or is that a dumb questions? it seems like they would need their best people for the busiest times and that would be Fri and Sat right?

Well and as far as the writing, that's wonderful and just proves further that you belong on this platform!

Unless I make a special request to have a weekend off I'm always working. It's rare that I do though.

I think the gratitude blog has been way more beneficial to me than anyone that might read it. I've been trying to work on the curation side a little more lately and searching new posts that speak to me and making a few comments. I'm not up to your league but it's working out. Hope you are having a good day

howdy back sir witty-waiter! well that all sounds really good. well, I don't know if working every weekend sounds good but that's what I've done my whole life so it's no big deal unless you've been a regular 9 to 5'r and then it might suck.

hey no one would be crazy enough to be at my level in the League, I'm just there because it's about the only way I know to make some steem but it makes no sense income wise. I mean I hope prices go way up and then I can look back and say hey that was a great investment.

otherwise...I don't want to think about it! lol.
but yes I totally agree with your seeking out posts that speak to you, just think there has to be tons of them just waiting to be found and people to connect to! it's a beautiful thing.
if I don't write again this week..have a great weekend at work, hope it all goes smoothly!

Hope you have a great weekend as well. Hopefully BTC and Steem rebound and go way up. I'm going to need a knee replacement if I keep this up. LoL

oh wow witty-waiter..well I know you're at work but do you have insurance ?
