Getaway
For once, I didn’t t feel like I was running away. I was on a plane, by myself, and I wasn’t shaking from stress.
It’s awful to say that almost every Beautycounter trip I have taken in the last 5 years was a way for me to escape. I would count the days until I would leave, hanging the restoration of my sanity on these trips. When I missed one due to Hurricane Irma, it was devastating. I would have to wait another 4 months until I would have another chance, plus go through a hurricane. After that I stopped letting myself get excited.
This trip was the first time my oldest daughter cried about me leaving. She has always given me a hard time about going but this time she was sobbing. It was hard because for the first time in a very long time, I felt that I was really going to miss them. It was hard to leave and that felt really nice. It felt NORMAL and HEALTHY.
This is just a trip. It’s not a cure for anything. It’s work and it’s social. It’s something I get to enjoy AND then look forward to going home. It feels good to be content.
Are you still planning your escape or are you content in where you are...or is it a little bit of both?
