Solitude

I always find it fascinating the difference between me and my husband. I was reminded of this difference because a friend pointed out that it was just the three of us in the house.

You see my husband likes that a lot of people are around him. I on the other hand being a closeted introvert prefers to be alone. Do not get me wrong I love visitors and I love entertaining but compared to the husband who would prefer all who are dear to him to be an arm's length away every hour of the day I on the other hand is a firm believer that familiarity breeds contempt. 

In fact I do my best work when I am alone. When I have important hearings to prepare for I wake up when the husband is asleep and study in our kitchen table. Sipping a cup of Milo with Alpine and not thinking if I am going to wake up anybody.

I relish those pockets of solitude when you can be by yourself, write notes and practice.

It's not that I do not like people it is just that with the way I am and the nature of my work solace is a precious commodity.

I love our set up where it is just him, me and Royet. My husband wants a different set up.

Ah marriage a constant compromise :)
