learn how to enjoy doing things by myself

I think now I am enjoying having some time to spend on me. My sweetie has been away from home working on a big project for the past few weeks, so I’ve had some down time to just spend on me. It’s been kind of nice, I guess. It’s nice to come home from work and then be able to go for a run, then come home and just breathe in the quiet.
I’d rather be with my honey, I think, but it’s nice to have me time once in a while. I think it was harder to enjoy doing things alone when I lived alone. Now I appreciate my alone time a little more.

I feel funny doing things by myself. I sometimes sit in my house and wish I had someone cool to go hang out with or go shopping with. I need to just get out there even if none of my friends are available to do things with me.

Today I went to the Farmer’s Market to check it out. I would sometimes see signs for it on the highway so I wanted to see what the fuss was all about. It was pretty neat, even though it’s still kind of wintery and there aren’t a lot of veggies being sold yet.

Next to the Farmer’s Market is a seafood restaurant. One of the guys at work mentioned it once, so I decided to get lunch there even though I was all by myself. It was a little odd to sit in there and eat by myself. But the food was good.

I just have to get used to being by myself and to view it more like having the freedom to do whatever I want at my own whim. If anyone has any suggestions I’d love to hear them.
