A few years ago I did just this - I went on an extended hike that was days basically days of solitude. It was exactly what I needed at the time.
Now is another story. I would not want to do anything for an extended period that did not include my family. I really enjoy their company, and get much more out of them being around than I would just beibng by myself.
So, not thanks.
A year ago I would have said "Can I leave NOW??" Bring it on!
But right now I am in a really nice place in my life ... I actually have some solitude each day .... and stresses are at a very minimum ... it is really, really nice.
I am also very fond of the people I see on a daily basis ... I would miss seeing them and communicating with them.
I would simply love this as I love nature and would study the birds, animals, bugs,snakes, plants, trees, flowers, explore the waters, the fish, turtles, gators, aquatic life and certainly enjoy this.
I would have much to keep me busy and no time to miss the fast paced world. A month would pass very quickly.
With all this beauty - I would not need to communicate with any other people.
BUT, with my Allergies....BLAH !!!!
Curt and I used to go camping frequently in our RV but haven't been able to since 2003. @;(
Nope. Gotta be glued to my wife.
Yes, can I leave right now?
If I could bring books to read I would. I have to have something to do or I'd go nuts, but as long as I had something to do, I'd love it.
Done just that many times. It is SO VERY Freeing!
Oh, my gosh! Can you imagine? A month with only your right brain and left brain to dual it out? No Way! Didn't anyone see Castaway? Unless you set a challenge to meditate under a tree all day...
Can I leave myself behind as well?
How about having all the chocolate you want, without gaining weight?
oh heck yes
