Is it an Age thing?
I am generally a quiet person, or rather I should say, I have cultivated a certain way of living, created a life for myself with in the past 10 years that I have become very comfortable with.I work alot, being self employed is not as luxurious as it seems, it takes the same effort to run and manage a small business as it does with a big business. I have three teenagers, now that they are at that independent stage, I am no longer "great" company, so the going out to dinner and going for a stroll on the beach and playing a board game does not appeal to them so much anymore :(. Most of the weekends are spent at their dad, so I am alone...........not really complaining about that because it allows me some time to catch up on house work and run errands. Lets say some of my weekends when I am done ........I am SPENT !!!
Now to what this blog is really about ! I find that I have no interest in doing anything beside work and taking care of my children. I have recently gone back to school, studying again and enjoying it. I work sometimes seven days a week , while juggling school and taking care of the girls and as much as it could be extremely tiring I enjoy it all. But I dont seem to have any interest in doing anything else.
Now it may sound boring, but that's what scares me lol..........im not bored at all. I just love being at home . I am a homebody, I dont drink or smoke, so I tend to decline invites to bars or social events that presents that, for obvious reasons.
Recently, I was told I am becoming a "recluse" I thought it was harsh, but it got me thinking.
Am I really ? Is it an age thing?
Have I become so comfortable with my own space and the life I have cultivated for myself that I have closed my mind to "change" ??
All that said..........the funny thing is ..........I am Happy !!! I am contented and I am comfortable with my life and lifestyle.
Go figure !!! lol

As long as you are happy in what you think and you do without hurting anybody, that's good. Its your life and you have all the power to run it.
It doesnt have to be every week but try to at least do something once a fortnight.
The benefits i found from doing social activities ranged from creating new business through networking, strengthening current business relationships and the time away even helped me recharge the batteries.
So it is important to take a break away from your normal routine, doing something different will benefit you in the long run otherwise you can get into a rut, get bored with what you're doing and start to stress out unnecessarily.
