National Hermit Day 2024
It has been said that I prefer the hermit lifestyle to the up and coming everybody wants you one I sometimes assumed in my career.
Unlike the hermit, I do not spend my life separated from the rest of the world.
I do, however, spend a modicum of alone time because I prefer it.
I don't know, the ghosts of those mistakes with whom I surrounded myself in the past have come to haunt me one time too many.
I chase them away and simply avoid mingling as an alternative lifestyle.
It wasn't always this way but it is now how it is.
Today is National Hermit Day.
It happens each October 29 and allows you to pursue seclusion over socialization if that is your thing.
I have responsibilities which preclude avoidance by and large but it is fun to pretend my life is my own periodically.
So, while I will never avoid humanity to the full extent of your typical hermit, I do share some of their philosophy and desire for solitude.
