Hermit-y

I am feeling a little hermit-y these days.  If left to my own devices, I would be perfectly content to hide out in my house for the next month or two... or until spring arrives.  

Maybe if I close the curtains no one will notice that I'm at home.  

This is due in part to my very nature. I am simultaneously a social creature and one that craves solitude.  These two sides come and go like the seasons. It just so happens that the part of me that secretly desires to sneak off to a mountain hideaway is the one in the driver's seat these days.

Fortunately, I have a family and friends who lovingly coax me out into the land of the living for a shared meal, a movie or just some good old-fashioned conversation.  It helps keep me in balance.

I suppose that January is as good a time as any to indulge in my hermit-y ways.  The cold and dreary days provide me the perfect excuse for staying indoors.  It is what I am craving right now and I think that's okay.
