My biggest desire right now is to burn my house, take my insurance money and move to the Caribbean and live in a tree house, eating exotic fruit and playing on the beach everyday. I want to escape this rat race, that is for sure.
But I realize that I have a lot of things here at home that I don't want to give up and so I must deal with them. It's in dealing with them that life becomes crazy.
In Sue Augustine's latest book, Sanity Secrets for Stressed-Out Women, it was the very first paragraph that resonated with me immediately. As much as I wanted to read the whole thing in one night, the irony is my crazy life got in the way.
