It is likely that you will spend a great deal of time alone today, even if your usual duties involve working cooperatively with others. You may at first find that your experience in solitude is refreshing and relaxing, and this can inspire you to delve deeper into your self-imposed seclusion. However, after a time, you may begin to feel isolated from your peers, and your already established reservations can make reconnecting with family, friends, and colleagues somewhat difficult. If you remind yourself today that these individuals still care for you, you may find that your reintegration into society transpires more smoothly.

While the time we spend in solitude nourishes our minds and souls in a profound way, a lengthy period spent alone can leave us feeling isolated and reserved. Once this transformation takes place, the notion of returning to the society of our peers can be a frightening one. However, when we are courageous enough to overcome our fears, we discover that we are never truly secluded. Each time we willingly isolate ourselves, we can be sure that there are people who are joyously anticipating the moment of our emergence. This knowledge provides us with the courage and the will to reintegrate ourselves into first the company of the people we care about and then the presence of those who exist outside our sphere of influence. You will no longer feel that your time in solitude has isolated you from others today when you choose bravely to re-enter society at large.
