Mental escape of the day

I am craving for a break ! I need a break .. seriously .. everything around me is driving me nuts .. And it consumes a lot of my remaining energy to follow up my work and do everything that I am supposed to be doing, time is simply flying when you need it most . Its in such times that I have this crazy fantasy of running away to some little cottage in a mountain with a lake outside and lots of green bushes around, fresh clean air , no pollution or street noises , only calmness and peacefulness all around , where I can go sit on the shady terrace with a nice book and have nothing to worry about in my mind other than the moment I am living .. Wouldn't that be neat !?

I do realize the fact that such combination only exists in my dreams, obviously ,because I cannot run on my own , moreover, there are mountains but no lakes here in Jordan , and finally , I don't have a cottage house!!

I think I'll have to accept the fact that my warm tea mug next to me along with these lines are the only logical escape I will be having for the rest of the day ..

You talk as if your in my life ….some times I wish I can travel away to some place and just relax and think of nothing, no meetings, no reports, no dead lines …just beautiful nature …silence ( or at least natural sounds) and a good book ….oh what I would not give to do that.

But unfortunately when ever I travel I end up being more busy than when home, a lot to see ..a lot to do and never enough time, and I need not say any thing about travel for work and conferences. Blahhh

You know some times, I get so stressed out with the world, that I wish I can crawl into my closet and close, the door and see nor talk to any one !! Wouldn't that be nice?

So Danah here is a proposition, when you decide to go on a vacation out side Jordan just for the purpose of relaxing …let me know and I will join you…what do you say ?

I know the " crawl into my closet and close, the door and see nor talk to any one" thing ! Girl .. you speak out my mind .. that’s my thing .. lol =) .. its soooooo relieving to know that I am not the only one having such thoughts .. And its not because I hate people around me or I can't stand them.. but its simply because I need my own quality calm time with no one interrupting me .. more like a reset of my system !

=) and I say ,, I'M IN ! and same goes for you Tamara ;)

Well lets see Danah, I'm going camping to Wadi Rum on the 27\28th , and on the end of Aug I promised a friend we will go to Aqaba for a few days, otherwise I have no vacation plans this year so I'm totally up for suggestions : )

asalam 3alaykom,
Hey danah..nice post ..
know?I've always thought that some day i will stop feeling the need that i want to escape..you know ,when you start doing all you want in life you'd think that this urge will end..but aparantly it doesn't..who knows may be a vacation will pop up suddenly for you..
thank you for sharing:)

The caller,

Allah y6ammen 2albek  .. so there is no way to stop this urge of "I wanna escape" from popping up ! lol ..
I guess an escape is a must .. because again I think it’s a way to reset one's system .

Joe and MAZZ1983 ,

First .. thank you both for stepping by  come more often !
And Mazz , one may think its easy but it never is , because as you said, one has obligations in life that he or she cannot just throw them and run (wouldn't be awesome if that was possible) … if I ever found my escape .. I will share it with all of you  .. I guess I'll stick to mental escapes for the mean time !
