Ryan harvested his first produce! Two little green onions! They were hotter than all get out too! He's loving his garden and in this warm, humid weather it is growing by leaps and bounds. Ryan is at respite this morning and I have a post-op doctor appointment. Fun use of respite, right? I should do something fun but I'm just sitting here like an idiot. Sometimes I think we just need to breathe.
Someone once told me you could tell if you were an introvert or an extrovert, not by how you act, but by where you get your strength. If you feed off the energy of a group and feel your most relaxed after a social gathering you are an extrovert. If you regain balance and momentum from solitude you're an introvert. You know what? I feel like I'm both. After a great time out with friends or family I feel relaxed and happy. Keep me with them too long and I start getting tired and weary.
I love being alone too. I love to read and putter around the house. Keep me away socially for too long and I get cabin fever. I'm a writer, that's introverted. I've always been into travel, that's extroverted. I don't mind my own company, I can always keep busy and interested in something. Introverted. I love seeing new sights ... but you know? I'll see those new sights when the crowds have thinned usually. Maybe I AM more of an introvert.
What do you do if you are an introvert and your special child is an extrovert. How weary do you become feeding that source of strength for them? All something to ponder, no?
Well, I'd better get rolling or I'll be late for my post-op.
Thanks for stopping by
Much love and joy,
Karen
