Where's your place??

After reading my second favorite blogger, BOOMAMA, latest post- I got to thinking.... where is your place to unwind? When the ordinary hustle and flow of life get you down.... what do you do? Where do you go? When the kids are gone, or the hubby is working, or the boyfriend is out with the boys.... what do you do? Here is my response to BOOMAMA'S question:

"Right now- my favorite place is on our balcony. I go out there right as the objects around me turn black, and the sky is bright blue. It is this magic hour right around 8pm. This is my favorite time of night b/c the city settles, and the people unwind. I listen to the cars drive by, and just breathe. Sometimes here in southern California- you can even see a star, and when that happens, it makes my moment even better. Later on in the eve. I drink a cup of my “Sleepy-time EXTRA” tea at night- (with two tea bags) and when I am finished, I go back out on my balcony- and look for the moon, and the 8 stars Southern California allows me to see. The cold air makes this moment even better, and makes me feel more alone. Something I often feared growing up, and something now I embrace. It is a different kind of alone now. It is an accompanied alone."

So- I ask you this, where is your spot? Where do you go to be alone?
