Cave Dwelling
Sometimes there is a need to get away. For whatever reason. A longing to be a little insular. A little tricky perhaps for a social media user. But there you have it.
Contrary to popular belief not everything a blogger does is up for public viewing and comment. Some things are just for the blogger.
Some stories are still being played out. Some stories, thoughts, feelings are not mine for the telling or sharing. So they are kept close while I sit in my cave.
Cave dwelling is not for everyone, sometimes it is not even for me. But there are days when what is needed is a quiet mind and heart.
A long run with music loud, a quiet evening watching TV with the kids. A walk with Hubby and the dog. A book or a cup of tea in a quiet kitchen. Cave dwelling at its best.
Some things are for me alone to sort through.
Blogging is a strage thing, where we pour our heart into words. Or not. Sometimes it is just the opposite. Words typed on the page as if to say I am here, just quietly, and the thoughts are mine alone.

Hearing you loud and clear (you’re echoing in your cave… or my cave… or something) and you are absolutely spot-on. Enjoy the quiet.

The echo is my own thoughts rattling in my head… or is that the cave? Not sure.

I don’t blog but I still like/need to go into my cave at times.
A quiet place for me to do as I please and not be made to feel guilty because I am taking ‘me’ time.
It can be like pressing the refresh button.
Hope you continue to be able to go into yours when you need and truly enjoy it when you do.x

It is a refresh button isn’t it. I like that idea!

I long for a bit of time in my cave but my little ones don’t like to let me stay in there very long. Enjoy your quiet time xx

I know what you mean, it is hard with little ones, and bigger ones for that matter, my teen son came with me on my run tonight. Sometimes it’s a matter of sneaking a little cave time here, a little there…

Love this Naomi, sometimes I am so totally over my blogging self. I can’t be bothered with trying to be funny, or clever or sincere. i can’t be bothered reading my own words or analysing my thoughts. I just want to be quiet and maybe watch Masterchef Professionals or something equally productive.

Exactly. And I think that should be OK, it’s a personal blog, it should be personal, saying what you want to say, when you want to say it, and nothing when you don’t!
