There are times when life seems to get too overwhelming. When I get so completely frustrated by the things around me, by the actions and attitudes of people...I just want to get away. Most of the time, I have the ability to do that and life seems right again.
At this time in my life, though, I don't have the ability to do that. It would mean dropping the ball on a lot of things that a lot of other people need me to keep holding up. So, what do I do? I know me...I'm getting ready to go loco on somebody or something. If we're all lucky, it will be something like a long run. But, who knows.
Suggestions, anyone? It seems my only "time away" is coming in the form of drives to and from work. Windows down, music up. Just doesn't last very long, though, and the email and phone still follow.
ARGH. I can't wait to go to Africa.

My original reply ended up being really long and sappy for a blog comment, so I deleted it and here's the shortened version.
You are in my prayers every day right now. You always will be.
This blog post really tugs at my heart. If there is anything I can do to help you out, please let me know.
Every time I've seen you lately, you are always reflecting your love for Jesus Christ and others and it is an inspiration to me. Your sphere of influence is much larger than you'll ever know.
Thank you for all you do Michele. It's making an impact in my life.
Oh yeah...
As far as the escape goes, I don't know what to say other than just do whatever you get maximum mileage from.
For me it's always a quiet dinner with one of my friends who knows me best and will listen if I choose to talk about it, but won't try to fix it unless I ask them to.
I relate.
Never underestimate the importance of Simplicity and Solitude.
That's my advice for everyone. It is so important to make time for both in our lives/walk that if we forget to, it will surely kill us in some area of our life.
Be blessed. I don't know you, (referred by los) but I will be praying for you.
