Saturday Question
On Saturdays I'll try to come up with some "out there" question that just makes you stop and think about something not so important. Think of it as a mini vacation. If you have any ideas drop me a line and we'll throw it in here. Who knows, it might be fun.
OK - Here goes: Where do you "go" when you need to just get away?
It doesn't have to BE any place. It's more like a state of being.
For years that was an easy question for me....I headed west. To the Gulf. To the water. But now? Now I had to rediscover. I had to really look at who I am and what gives me that feeling.
Some folks go fishing or hunting. Some folks hope on their bikes.
I'd like to say I get away with my music, but that's not really possible right now. For any number of reasons. I don't have the time/opportunity to go for long walks.
So what DO I do? I read. Just that simple. I can get lost in a book no matter where I am at or who I am with. Within a page I'm THERE, where ever there is.
Anyway - where do you go/what do you do to just step away?

Posted by: Nancy at July 1, 2006 02:44 PM... I never really go anywhere to "get away from it all".. instead I find a place to "sit down and think about it all"... kinda put everything back into perspective.... I do that just about everywhere...
Posted by: Eric at July 1, 2006 03:10 PMI have an online moms group that I like to go to when I need time to myself. I get to think and just write it down...and get feed back if needed. The girls and I have started taking daily trips to the library. They have programs for Indiana to do and Talladega and Piper sleep so I get to read a book. It's been a long time since I have done reading and I am really enjoying it.
Posted by: Emily at July 1, 2006 03:45 PMI go into my head. Sometimes that is not a good place for me to be. I read at times. I go to the blogosphere a lot... both writing and reading. I write A LOT, stuff y'all never see. I have to get it out of my head.
To really get away though... I used to go to this little tea shop sometimes and grab a cup of tea and just sit and read. The owners new me, so they'd always pick a quiet place for me to decompress. I love them there.
Posted by: Bou at July 1, 2006 05:15 PMI have no peace. I'm either with screaming children and problems at home, roasting my ass off in the shop, or on the road in between the two dealing with the morons behind the wheel.
