Musical Monday… Alone
A couple weeks ago, my husband had to do some travelling for work. He flew down to Tasmania early Friday morning and few back on Monday night. While that’s not exactly a spectacular event for many couples, it was the first time since I moved to Australia that we were separated.
I was quite nervous about him being away, but once I knew he was safe and sound in Tasmania, I began to adjust to being alone. Even before I moved to Australia, I had been living with other people for nearly half a year. So for someone who hadn’t spent the night alone in a home for over two years, I think I did pretty well.
Reflecting back on that time, I think it was good for both me and my husband. However, being alone certainly isn’t always fun and we can all remember a time when being alone inspired strong feelings, be them positive or negative.
That’s why I would like you to reflect on being alone today and write about it. To help you with your inspiration, here are a couple songs about being alone.
Enjoy, and happy Musical Monday.
On My Own – Reba McEntire
This is actually the song that inspired this prompt. It’s one of Reba’s older songs, but I’ve enjoyed listening to her music growing up.
All By Myself – Celine Dion
Of course I had to include this classic with a theme like ‘alone’. I’m not actually particularly fond of the song, but I figured I would include it anyway.
