In Need of a Vacation

It’s Monday and this weekend gave me plenty of time to reflect on everything that has happen to me this year.  I’m very thankful for the progress I’ve made as a woman, mother, friend, administrator and writer but I’m still a work in progress.

I've decided to pencil in some time for me to recharge and I have a good friend to thank for that.  I didn’t know I was getting SO stressed out until he poignantly told me that I needed to relax.  I really thought I was taking care of myself but knots in my neck and back tell another story.  I need a massage, an icy alcoholic beverage and the warm of the summer sun so I’m going to stop fighting it and get away for awhile.

I love Jersey, don’t get me wrong.  I don’t care how the Housewives of New Jersey make this place look to the rest of America, the CT/NJ/NY tri-state area is the best place to be but it’s very fast pace here.  And some people in Jersey don’t want to hear that they maybe off in their assessment of a situation or that they are being cruel and unjust to others.  It's life in the fast lane!  Many Northeast people can't help but see things analytically and their energy vampires nature can drain all peacefulness out of the most patience people.   So it’s nice for this southern raised girl to get out of here as much a possible.

Stress isn’t good for the body and self-induced stress is the absolute worse so I’m getting my affairs in order so I can give my mind and body a much needed break.  Hopefully I’ll return with a clearer mind and re-centered s when it’s all said and done.

I’ll still blog so you guys will still be updated on my writing progress (yes, my laptop is coming too) and anything I learn in the world of romance fiction.  Have a great week everyone.
