单身和独处的时候可以如何享受生活？

With my husband and kids away for the weekend, I had three whole days to myself. As a busy wife and mother, time like that is like finding $20 in an old purse… but even better. I usually get some take out and hunker down to binge watch the latest series I have missed. But there are times when I want to experience something. This time it was the symphony performing Mozart’s Requiem Mass. Choral church music isn’t everyone’s “thing,” but I enjoy hearing it. I booked a ticket for one and waited excitedly for the big night to arrive.

丈夫带着孩子们去别的地方过周末，我有三天独处的时间。对于一个忙碌的妻子和母亲来说，这种感觉简直比在旧钱包里翻出20美元的感觉还要好! 我通常都会叫个外卖，追个错过了几集的新剧。也有过几次我尝试做了一些其他的事情，连续两个小时听莫扎特的《安魂曲》。虽然不是每个人都喜欢教堂合唱乐，但我觉得还不错，我也会自己定个演出票，然后满心欢喜的等待夜幕降临前去观演。

After the performance, I heard the people behind me make a snarky comment about me being alone. I looked at them and smiled. They weren’t in on my little secret that I purposely volunteered to arrive at the performance by myself. I was able to listen to almost two hours of Mozart music with no interruption, and I was able to experience some of the most beautiful music in the world just for me.
