Another reason I am valuing this time alone is that as an introvert, I really do get my energy from having down time. Both my kids are like this...they like alone time, they don't want to be over-scheduled, they like it when there's nothing to do, one can sit and draw for hours while the other spends time on the computer, etc. My H is always pushing us into some activity or another, which is a good thing because it provides balance, but it can be annoying as well.
I'm heading into this Zen-like place, while my H is getting energized by the excitement of a new city, new people, etc. I hear it in his voice. It has the feeling of an adolescent checking in with mom...no wonder my sensuality has been off.
Lil, I can't believe you remembered about the "meditation" room! I guess the yellow stuck in your head! I ended up de-mysticalizing ( ?) it and making it more of a regular guest room becaue I thought my mother would be staying here for a time ( with my dad sick). Bust she is staying down in Florida, so I really should re-create the ambience.
