Thanks for the personal story. I do know I love alone time, always have. Just sometimes lately I don't want to be alone.
My favorite alone time is a solo round of golf on an empty course. 3 hours with no phone, no conversation, just walking, seeing, listening and thinking. Weather has been crap here lately, but hopefully I get some opportunities soon. The key is for the weather to get just good enough for me to enjoy myself, but not so good that the course is packed.
I also like to run, but I usually listen to music so it's not the same meditative state.
A couple years ago, I bought a little scooter/moped (a Honda Ruckus, if you want to see what they look like). I can kill an entire Saturday afternoon just rolling around the city on that thing. Can't wait for the warmer weather to enjoy that again.
I also have enjoyed drawing/art back in the past. I bought some new pens to do some drawings but haven't started that yet.
