I live with so much unwanted city noise, and crowds, and demands to be sociable, that true silence and time to just be by myself can be difficult to find. It's hard to say gently to friends that I need time on my own without receiving anxious looks, or noticing that they feel rejected. Hmm, food for thought here.....rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00474723200653576051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13313028.post-50481644775977871402009-01-20T06:25:00.000+00:002009-01-20T06:25:00.000+00:00I see there's a goose for the gander in the making...I see there's a goose for the gander in the making.
