I embrace solitude.  I was not always this way.  There was a time I hated to be alone and I would avoid it.  Now I prefer it.  Although I do not live alone, I get plenty of alone time.  It is healthy and refreshing.

The photo I chose for this week’s challenge is a perfect example of my favorite way to vacation.  Away from crowds, solitude in nature is always my preference.

Solitude at Glacier National Park.  

I loved the quotes for this week’s challenge on the Daily Post.

“We live in a very tense society. We are pulled apart, and we all need to learn how to pull ourselves together. I think that at least part of the answer lies in solitude.” — Helen Hayes

“Solitude is the place of purification.” – Martin Buber
