Cycle

It seems like all of life comes in cycles, and that goes along naturally with the pattern of life that you see here on earth. People are born and others die. Some way too soon. There should be patterns of sadness and times of joy. There should be time of giving and times of taking. Ideally, life is marked with memorable moments, frequent laughter, and a few true friends.

There are moments when I am outraged by the insensitive behavior of others. I am sick of family drama. Disappointed by so-called friends and dealing with personal grief and depression. There are times like today, when I just want to throw up my hands and runaway from everything. My personal diagnosis of myself is that I am suffering from complete burnout. So I am declaring it an emergency. My calendar may be filled to the brim with mil dr appts, "so-called Family Meetings" church priorities, and graduate studies but I am going to cancel whatever it takes and we are leaving town for a few days. I know that people are quick to say that when you come back everything is still here to deal with but right now I just want to escape. And so because we need a break, because I am burn out, because I am so very sad, we are leaving ASAP. Hopefully Tuesday. Pray we get to go!
