ON THE BACK BURNER

In the New York Times, there was an article about how an introvert reacts , especially during this time when we all are mostly home bound. I always thought that I had introvert tendencies. The article goes on to say that even introverts need and seek out contact with others. True. I love my family of choice here in Venice. They keep me going. They don’t need a number of friends, just a few will do. It ended by saying that introverts are independent people . That was all that I needed to read.That validated me to me.  I I think that I have a lot of the qualities of an independent person.  I am happy by myself. I can sit for long periods of time. I do things out of expected order.Spending 51 days in my house, with the only exception being the walks I take now with Dixie work for me. . I can remember someone-saying to me when I  went to college after I had 4 kids, “it’s good  that your husband let’s you  do this”. What.?
