    Since I’m off work with Covid I’ve reverted to my internal clock of staying up until midnight. And because of covid I tend to sleep 12 hours a night. (Yes, still after 2 months ... it’s a slow recovery and at this point I’m hoping I’m not one of those long haulers who goes on disability). My husband generally goes to bed at 7 and gets up at 4.

    This is a foreshadow of when we are both retired, and it works. He gets mornings alone and I get evenings alone and we have about 8 hours together.

    And yes, it would bother me to be quarantined together and on the same sleep/wake schedule. I need time alone.

    My late DH knew that I was doing my prayer/meditations and simply sat in his recliner beside me, closed his eyes and stayed quiet. It was such a special time of harmony for both of us which I do miss now.
    As Cicero said, “Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all the others.”

    My husband is the meditator in our house and he goes into his spot each morning. I don't bother him. What is particularly cute is that the dogs meditate with him, lying there really quiet on the floor.

    This spiritual practices and the sayings/ chants are really nice!

    DH will occasionally make fun of me for something and I tell him to go...well I think you can figure out what I tell him.

    But as I have mentioned several times, an aid to meditative contemplation and the centered life is: having two homes!There are days where I have no interruptions.

    I like my solitude, and boy howdy do I have it now! If I had a partner, I would definitely be up for two houses, or at least a duplex.
