Been there, done that, need to do that again! I'm a writer living in the country with limited human contact. I'll be so glad when my bible study starts again so I'll get to SEE PEOPLE! But I wonder -- aren't there some ways that technology has brought us closer together? I'm now in closer touch with friends who live far away. And because of that, we get together more often. Still, it would be nice to have more company than the cat while I'm here working and waiting for my husband and child to get home. First off, what a relief it’s not diet or exercise!

Being a writer, I'm often home all the time. There are days I don't leave the house. But on the days I do have meetings or even lunch with people, I feel more energized. But I think it goes a step further. I don't think they are talking about connections being the people we pass in the grocery aisle, but the ones we share parts of our lives with. And the deeper those relationships, the better for both parties. Linda, yes I find the same thing. Being a writer, I’m often home all the time. There are days I don’t leave the house.

Hi Pat - thought I'd just make a quick comment. I kind of see what this is talking about. I know that I personally feel better on days when I have left my house and interacted with others than on days I do not leave home. I had never really thought about it before, but I probably will ponder it often now. On the days (nights) I work, if I have stayed home all day, I feel pretty sluggish, but more, I don't feel like even seeing people because the hours of solitude have left me rather empty and used to being alone. So I guess it's a good thing I do work or I could just waste away all by myself, sort of. Thanks for making me think about my future. Interesting thought.
