These days with social media, one is never “alone” or in solitude. The notifications on your mobile devices keep beeping as new messages/posts come in.
Then in our city lives there is really no quiet solitude either with all the traffic, bustle of people, TV/music coming from all surrounding apartments. Its actually quite noisy…
This explains partially why we like to get away sometimes to our timeshare in Phuket where the only sounds are birds chirping and occasional monkey howl in the distant. That’s the best solitude for us at this time!
I love to hear birds chirping. Monkey’s howling is not too bothering either. Good for you to have a place to get away. I turn off all the notifications except text message!
Beautiful photos!

I know the feeling–I find it hard to take a break from the blog; feel a commitment, as it seems to be my “ministry” as well as fun 🙂
