And then there was one

First there were three..

The Oxford kids have gone back to Oxford. The Power Puff Girls are also gone, with the medic back in Aussie and the ophthalmologist heading to China tomorrow for field work. This leaves me on my own. It's been a long time I was last alone like this and it doesn't feel too good. That's why I did not want to rent outside as I would be going back to an empty house and have no one to talk to (bar the cat but I don't have a cat). However, I must not be reliant on others to provide the entertainment. While it is nice to have people to talk to, to confine and to send stupid bar jokes, it is also important to spend time alone in reflection of the things we do. It is crucial that we are not swept away in a tide of activity and forget the goals we set out to achieve in the first place. I told myself that this place was a place to learn about myself and what I really wanted in life. The social whirl is a great distraction from boredom and loneliness but it can also be in the way of achieving our goals. This time of solitude is godsent to allow me to re-evaluate my decisions as to whether they are the right ones at this point of time.
