Unique Life of a Hermit

I think I will be a hermit today. I will stay home and out of the rain.

NATIONAL HERMIT DAY

National Hermit Day on October 29th recognizes the hermit in all of us. A hermit is a person who lives, to some degree, in seclusion from society.

No matter how social a person is, everyone needs to take a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Hermits know how to avoid the public. They have mastered the ability to live independently without social interaction. Some of today’s modern conveniences may even make it more probable to become hermit-like.

The word hermit comes from the Latin ĕrēmīta, meaning “of the desert”.
However, this is only one day. Not a lifestyle change. It’s simply a retreat into your own quiet someplace, isolated from the rest of the world.

HOW TO OBSERVE #NationalHermitDay

This single-day celebration suggests that we disengage from the world for the day. Turn off the phone. Putter around the house. Enjoy your secluded little neck of the world. Be hermit-like for the day. Just for the day. Come back to the rest of the world refreshed and invigorated.

Oh, before you do slip off into the hermit world, use #NationalHermitDay to post on social media.

NATIONAL HERMIT DAY HISTORY

October 29th is the day St. Colman died in Ireland in 632 A.D. He had a seven-year hermitage in the Burren Forest in a cave. It is believed that National Hermit Day honors the date of his death. http://orthochristian.com/75046.html
