You’re not alone. We all want to run away these days.

I was going to do just that back in 2000. I let myself be pressured into getting a mortgage and remodeling Mom's house instead. To this day I regret it! 😔

I recall days when I was raising our family at Camp Pendleton that I got on the freeway and wanted to just keep on going. Being a single parent the majority of the year while he was gone, and with 4 kids ranging in age from teen to infant I was worn out. Of course I never got past the next exit, but the thought was there. Sometimes life can get overwhelming and being able to get away by yourself is important to your sanity.

Do what you are able to do. Don’t refuse help from others! Just thank them. Keep in mind that this will pass.

I understand that parts of the Gobi desert or the Nazca desert are nice this time of year.

So is Antarctica. Cold, dark, and impossible to be found.

I'm not crazy about cold weather. Even CANADA would be pushing my personal envelope . There's a viable reason why cold climate is not my favorite, although it supposedly arrests the aging process.

I feel your pain and want to run away. But kids and grandkids are here so I feel I have to stay here and take care of them just in case..?? I don’t know what will happen but I know we are all going to experience pain one way or another!
