Sunshine and Silence

[qos]

I'm alone in the house with all the windows open, after enjoying a good night's sleep and waking up without my alarm clock.

I'm not 100% well, but I'm certaily feeling well enough to keep my date with a_belletrist -- especially after the months we've spent trying to get together!

In the meantime, it feels good to be alone. The Daughter is at my parents' house; my lovers are doing their own things; the Ex's SO and her twins are on vacation.

It's been so long since I've been in my own space and had silence.

I had forgotten what it felt like, the freedom of it.

The peace.

I need to arrange retreats for myself more often.

I hope you don't mind me adding you as a friend. We have a couple of friends in common, and I have seen your comments here and there. You seem like someone I'd like to know.

I don't mind at all.

Actually, it's kind of funny because I added you as a friend a year or so ago after seeing your comments in vicarchori's journal, but you never friended me back. (No hard feelings! I've never believed in auto-friending.) But most of your posts seemed to be Friends Only, so I eventually un-friended you.

You're more than welcome here, and I'm going to friend you again. ;-)

I'm so sorry about that. I assure you it was in no way intentional. I fear I don't pay very close attention to my friends list. And I should. I honestly don't remember seeing you. I'm sure if I had checked out your journal I would have added you.

Please, no apology is necessary.
Until LJ started doing friending notifications, people would sometimes friend me and it would take me ages to notice.

And I truly don't believe that being friended obligates someone to friend that person back. I never took it personally or was hurt by the fact that you didn't respond to my friending you.
