Dreaming of coffee in Bellagio...

Am I the only one who occasionally wants to run away from home? Don't call the authorities, I'm not 12, I'm thirty something.

Today I woke up overwhelmed with the pressure of life. It presses in on all sides. Honestly it is a wonder that more people don't implode.

There is pressure to be a good mommy, a good wife, a good person, a good employee, a good example, a good Christian, a good home schooler, a good friend................ the list goes on.

What happens when you don't feel like doing all that is expected of you anymore?

You take a long hot bath, pray that the desire to press on and hold fast returns, and try to remember all the things you have to be thankful for. I'll let you know how this recipe turns out, in 5 months or so, when I write my next blog entry..
