Do you ever have one of those days where you just want to walk away from your life, where you want to step outside yourself and just be someone else, anyone else, other than you. Well, I'm having one of those years.
I hate my job; my marriage is rocky and completely unsatisfying--the only thing that holds me in it are my children; I hate where I live; I feel completely disconnected with my family and friends. I sometimes feel like I am just waiting to walk over that cliff, whatever it might be.
Some days, I just wish I could walk away from my life, just for the day. Now before anyone jumps to any conclusions, no, I don't want to abandon my kids. I would never do that; I love them too much--they are my light and my world.
Still, an escape, even temporarily for a day, would be nice. I think that's why I seem to always keep my nose buried in a book. At least they offer a momentary escape into a fantasy world. However, my reading is usually interrupted by the pressing needs of reality.

Maybe it's time to pamper yourself with a trip to a day spa followed by a lovely lunch at an elegant restaurant.Then renting a room in a posh hotel,ordering room service while indulging in a bubble bath.An expensive merlot rounds out the nightt.No answering phone calls, no annoying mate, nothing but peace quiet and self indulgengeCowboy -

You have to try to etch out some time for yourself or you'll go nuts!!!

I think we all go through this need to escape some days. I hit a point like this during this past summer and a good friend advised me to go pamper myself at a hotel away from everyone and everything and just spend some time on myself.
I didn't manage to fit the time to do that in, but I did managed to spend half a day just sitting at the park, staring off into space, and writing in my journal. That really helped.

Pampering myself sounds like a nice idea. Now if I only had the time.
