Being alone. It feels good.

Retirement. And living alone.  Something nice about it all. On any given day, it’s relatively easy. For me. To live in seclusion. Isolated. Away from the turmoil that plagues other people.  I’m able to find peace. Solitude. I’ve had friendly encounters today. With others.  Some troubled. And in need of help. Which I try to give. But now I’m able to be away from it all. Because I’ve retreated. Into my cocoon.  I’m alone. And it feels good. –Jim Broede
