My boys are, and always will be, my top priority.
However, I need a little solitude.
Not a lot.
Just a little.
A wee little bit in the grand scheme of things.
A few hours a months should do it.
A tiny bit to fill my well, keep my embers going, and allow me some space.
Some time to be.
Some time to create.
Some time to walk.
Some time to read.
Some time to not be on call.
What's so hard about it?
It's not too much to ask, is it?
