Sometimes, there's no better feeling than reveling in your alone time. Sometimes, the kind of freedom that comes with loneliness matches no other.
I hope that over the many times I've told my dearest ones that I'd like to be alone, they understand that I'm not unhappy with their presence - I'd just feel happier with only mine for a bit. Sit in my favorite spot, drink my favorite kind of tea and watch the one silly show that I've been excited for.

Tiny Thoughts 22 — Theonarchy

About 800 words, or about a three-minute read at 265 words per minute. We’re officially a Theonarchy. I made up that word by combining the words Theistic Monarchy. Theistic because various Republicans and supporters have convinced Trump he was chosen by no less than God Herself to be the poster boy for the United States of America (and saved him from two assassination attempts, to boot).

With people so used to and enthusiastic about texting to communicate, has anyone else noticed that it’s getting a little harder to have a good, long phone conversation? You know, the kind where you just hang out on the phone chatting up a storm, covering a wide range of subjects until you both just trail off. Now I enjoy long text threads as much as anybody (ok, probably not as much as my daughters), but also enjoy a good gab with friends, family or colleagues on my cell. #communication #telecommunications #ShortRant #PersonalOpinion

@archaeohistories The Inuit and other peoples were living long back into the glacial ages. I suggest that the Snow Goggles are tens of thousands of years old, but that the oldest ones we have found are 2000 years old. These were smart, resourceful peoples. I doubt they lived for 10000 years in glacial and arctic areas before someone thought of goggles. #personalOpinion #speculation #noResearch #noevidence #respect
