I
finally had it.
I
felt like I was losing my marbles. I could feel the tension in my back and
shoulders.
My
jaw clamped shut.
My
stomach was rocky on the best of days.
My
mood was prickly on the best of days. On the worst? Don’t ask.
I
took the time off that I seriously needed. I unplugged from the world. I let it
all go to the wind.
It
was good.
There was no trip to pack for. I staycationed.
I
floated on a raft in the sun every day.
I
didn’t cook anything.
Music
followed me around wherever I went.
Slowly
but surely I felt the stresses leave my body.
I
was finally able to sleep soundly.
Yes,
I got tan.
Yes,
I lost weight.
Yes,
I laughed hysterically at times.
Yes,
I’m going to do it again. Soon.
