When the commitments begin to build, I begin to do my best impression of Chicken Little. This week's meetings combined w/an impending teachers' strike, picketing (of course) living/coping with a teenage angst and then sprinkle that w/a wee bit of standardized testing prep at school- found me making my final step. When the going gets tough I want to get going. .
I pull out my calendar, and start searching for a weekend that I can squeeze in a couple nights that will allow me to head up to our cabin. It's almost become an involuntary reflex. I am never sure quite how I arrive at pulling out the calendar but I always get there when life has over asserted itself. Yes, I am so blessed to have an escape, but more importantly I also know when the camel's back is almost broken.
I think I remember reading about your cabin last March! Everyone needs some kind of escape. I hope you find the time soon!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Leigh Ann! Good to see your post. We are both still squeezing in our writing time.
