October 29 is Hermit Day
Hermit Day is a day that is meant to just celebrate the hermit lifestyle for one day. For hermits, they can relax on this day knowing that their lifestyle is accepted. For introverts, this holiday gives them the alone time that they need but may not always get. For extroverts, this holiday gives alone time that probably is needed even if they do not realize how much the alone time is needed.
Just how do people celebrate hermit day? Here are some ideas, but first, make sure anything you need to prepare to celebrate hermit day is done before October 29, then Hermit Day can be celebrated properly.
Pick up a Book You've Always Wanted to Read
Obtain a book you've always wanted to read. On October 29, sit inside and and read that book. Enjoy it while lounging in bed or taking a nice, warm bath.
Write Those Memories
Write any memories you've been meaning to write. Perhaps this is for yourself. Maybe it is for other family members. They might even be for friends. Relax and write the memories that you've always wanted to record.
Write Stories and Poems
Take the day and relax by writing stories and poems. It does not matter if they are any good. This is a day to enjoy yourself.
Draw or Paint Pictures
Once again, these do not have to be good. If drawing or painting is something that you enjoy, just take time to be by yourself and draw or paint.
Bake Breads, Cookies, and Cakes
If you enjoy baking, take this time to bake things you've always wanted to try baking but have not tried to bake yet. You can also bake some of your old favorite.
Sleep
Sometimes getting extra sleep is what people need to do.
Spend Time with Your Pets
Just spend time with your pets. Pet them, love them, and spoil them. It's not like you wouldn't do this if you're a pet lover, but it is certainly a good way to be a hermit and not feel lonely.
No matter what you do, just make sure you spend time by yourself on October 29.

Post a CommentHermit Day should be celebrated more often, I say!!!!
This is officially my day.
After Church I think I honored Hermit Day pretty well. I stayed in bed the rest of the day. No phone calls, visitors, even locked the bedroom door.
