do you ever day dream or get in a mood that you wonder what it would be like if you could just take off and go mess around?

You must have read my mind! I would love to do this! I don't want to sound like I am self-pitying here, but my life has got into a big rut, and sometimes I just feel so trapped, that I would just love to up and leave and just 'vanish' and never return, that sounds selfish too because I would break all my connections and just go and lick my wounds. I am extremely independent and don't need others for company, so would enjoy the solitude and the peace. My desert island would be a haven, a sanctuary, an escape from the trials and tribulations that is my life. Do I sound selfish here? Thanks for giving me a topic that I can let my imagination run free, if only I could do it, but too many responsibilities face me and running away would be a cowardly way out.

I was thinking, daydreaming about what even a week or two could be like. How it would be to be away from the demands and just do what you wanted. To taste freedom , run in the rain, let your hair down and fell the wind blow in your hair....smell the ocean..You see where my mind goes on coffee breaks...lol

Yes, I'd love to hide on a deserted island, away from the stress and hatred that is so much a part of life now. In fact, when I can't get to sleep at night, I imagine myself somewhere all alone, and that always relaxes me enough to sleep.

When I feel like running away from life, it is due to depression and aggravation, unfortunately. I wish it were daydreaming, believe me. I hate winter and a deserted tropical island sounds like a wonderful place to hang out until May.

I am also ready for spring. I do not know why but this seemed like a long winter even though here it wasnt really that cold compared to other places. I am focusing on what I want to plant and what spring things I want to do.

Thats wonderful, and I am glad thta you are so happy....Its really about a mood that we can have sometimes. Just a feeling that may strike us at times and the idea of it even though we know we have responsibilities and cant just go, we can go places in our minds.

EVERY freakin' day! It would be awesome to just go live off the land, and bake on a beach, and not to have to do anything if I didn't feel like it! I might get lonely, but I could send invitations, and make it understood-that visitation is by invitation ONLY!!!! I could live that life!

After the day I spent today I would love to run away and hide. I wish I could me without the worries of kids, bills, grandchildren, husbands. I have a friend who once a year checks into a hotel and splurges on herself.

Not lately. I want to dream of things I want to make real in my life. Going to an island and pretending is not good enough. What happens when you come back to your real place of living? The same things would be there to greet you.

I really would. sometimes life gets so crazy that I would just like to leave it all behind and go away with just my husband. The thing is that the problems would just be there when I return so I better just stick with living through my trials and working them out the best I can.
