The definition of escape is "a means of obtaining temporary freedom from worry, care, or unpleasantness". Sure, escape is a "temporary freedom" from whatever you have going on, but don't you need those "temporary" escapes.
School has started along with the afterschool activities and that means A LOT of running around. Add in cooking, cleaning and trying to exercise and it makes for a very busy day! SOOO I like to indulge in little escapes to refresh myself. It may be sneaking a chapter of a good book during the afternoon, or making a treat to indulge myself with. Sometimes my escape is actually WORK. I love to go outside to water and work in the yard. The peace and quiet mixed with the breezes are heavenly to me. When I come back inside I feel like I can actually tackle all the work needing done. Other times I escape the monotony of the day with craft projects or playing with my camera. Even turning on music helps me to escape.
Whatever I use as my escape I'm grateful for, because it gives me that temporary break to recharge myself. And of course every post needs a picture, here is Jerrica this summer at my mom's escaping all the chaos of siblings and cousins into Grandma's viewfinder.
I used to love love love this toy! great picture!!
