The Bliss of Solitude

For oft, when on my couch I lie

In vacant or in pensive mood,

They flash upon that inward eye

Which is the bliss of solitude;

And then my heart with pleasure fills,

And dances with the daffodils.

William Wordsworth – ‘I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud’

I find myself on my own more often than not.

This is the perfect time to reflect upon all God’s goodness.

I am thankful for the very many blessings He has bestowed upon me.

There is a sense of poetry in solitude.

You can step back and look and life and situations

discuss them outright with the LORD

and lay it all at His feet.

Jeremiah 17:10 
"I the LORD search the heart and examine the mind, to reward a man according to his conduct, according to what his deeds deserve."

Time flies by so very fast – too fast to waste one moment of it.

To me, enjoying – the moments of blissful solitude enable

me to cherish the moments with loved ones.

It is so very important at times to take a moment to just

Be Still.

In times of solitude you are able to do just that.

Matthew 14:23 
After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone…

 Today, while listening to soothing music, as I often do – I set for myself a flower-filled placesetting. I feel that when you are on your own it is important to make these moments – even lunch on your own an event.

This is my time to talk with the LORD, take care of myself that I might be and exercise my philosophy of Toujours.

I hope you cherish the moments of solitude that can be blissful and can be poetical.

I wish you the most Delightsome day,
