Alone time

What is one way I can begin cultivating solitude?  I can get up earlier or spend time in my book room.  I relish getting up early on weekends to spend time alone before anyone else gets up. 
What are the top one or two obstacles I need to overcome practice times?  Well, going to bed earlier so I get enough sleep and can still get up early.  No one goes to bed regular anymore with this covid thing so staying up late is no longer an option.  Sometimes I am just plan tired.

Give Thanks

Livelihood:
I am thankful for my job, because I can somewhat make my own hours and I can work with my children sometimes.

Body: I am thankful that I am healthy regardless of my weight.

Creativity:  I am thankful that my book room is finished and that I have somewhere to go.

Relationship:  I am thankful for my husband because he is a hard worker that provides well.

Spirituality:  I am thankful that Jesus died on the cross because as often as I screw up I would be doomed without him.

Tempestuous Eden review

I have read several of Heather Graham's novels, mostly mystery, but this is her first romance that I have read.  "Tempestuous Eden" is a romance involving international diplomacy, missions, US government, etc.  Blair is a powerful government official's daughter who is in Central America feeding the hungry when her father arranges for her to be abducted for her safety.  Unfortunately he doesn't bother to tell her this.  He sends Craig to kidnap her and hold her for 10 days until the all clear comes through.  Of course they get on each others nerves ( as one does when involved in a kidnapping) but can't seem to fight off the attraction either.  I am not normally a romance reader, so I don't "love" them.  This one seems pretty standard for the genre.  It is good as far as romance goes.  If romance is your genre of choice, this is one I would pick.  There is sex.  Not, like, porn, but you get it.
