Why I ran away from home

In a word...because it was time, I was beginning to feel upside down. So it was time that I took some time away for me, just me. I was not running away from anything. I was running toward my exhale. Yes my exhale. When you live your life living at 100%, eventually you will crave, do anything, to run just awhile at 10%. And on that note....I ran away from home, with permission.


I had this inside unquenchable desire and need to be topped off again. I make no apologies for that need. So if I need a minute and if I take a minute just for me....then so be it and good for me right? And thank you my loving family for making room for me to do just that. The kids said have at it! The dog started whimpering the moment he saw my luggage in the hallway. The hubby said, enjoy yourself and be safe. My response, "Honey I made dinners for you, all you have to do is heat them up."

So I ran off to my new adventure, carved out for me. To God be the glory. It took me nearly 25 years to do it, but heck, NIKE told me first JUST DO IT! And me and mine are so much better for it.

What I have learned is this.....Women we need to take better care of ourselves. There are so many of "them" counting on us. We can give so much more of ourselves when we feel our 100% to give. So pack and go! Pack and go! And don't wait a quarter century to JUST DO IT!

This resonated with me because I am often trying to explain to my husband that when my cup overfloweth I often feel like running away. This makes him sad because it sounds like I regret our life and that I want to run away from him and our daughter, but your post put it perfectly. I married at age 39 and had a child age 41 so for years I was used to doing as I chose and having and needing lots of space. So for marriage was a big adjustment for me. I love my family and give them my all but I rarely have any "me" time. So I showed him your post and he got it. I'm not running away from them but running to me so I can be better for them.

Thanks for your words

    I love being around people. I would rather live falling than break my spirit never trying anything hard. This blog is about trying and retrying life.
