[QUOTE="donna723, post: 513322, member: 1883"] I'm glad we've decided that this is normal because I do it constantly and have done it as long as I can remember. It's never quiet up there, always some kind of conversation going on! I don't ever really talk outloud to myself because I have four dogs so if I talk outloud, it's to them. They know all my secrets and all my most private thoughts ... they don't judge and they ain't talking either! And I am also a card-carrying member of the hermit brigade and couldn't be happier! A good day for me is when I don't even have to leave the house! Not for everybody but I love it this way! Just give me my computer, my satellite TV and my googley-eyed goofy dogs and I'm a happy lady! Only thing I would change is to have my daughter and her family be closer than 600 miles away but I can't change that. I see my son often and I have one brother who lives with his family 10 miles away. That's enough for me. I have a few good friends in our little town, people I've known for years, but they're not the kind of friends where we visit and go places together and talk on the phone. Most of my friends were at work but I retired 18 months ago. There are still a few I keep up with and see occasionally but not often. I do have one good friend that I talk to on the phone a lot. Funny thing about her ... she was an old friend from high school in Florida - lost track of her for [U]40 years[/U]! Then she moved to Tennessee to a place about 45 miles from me, and we reconnected. I don't see her often but we talk on the phone all the time, meet for lunch once in a while, go Christmas shopping together every year, and she comes every year when we have our little art festival in town. And that's enough for me! Honestly, after all the %&#! I went through raising my kids, all the %&#! I went through in my horrible "marriage", and all the %&#! I put up with at work for all those years just trying to earn a living, I am now absolutely [I]wallowing[/I] in my solitude and the peace and quiet and the absence of conflict! I figure that's my reward and I earned it! [/QUOTE]
