This is the time of this year when my friends and family go away.
Time for me to purge all the stuff that just doesn’t matter..
I was all wound up the other day wondering … no worrying... that my car tires might be the wrong size to grip the road. I guess if I was a racecar driver and my life and livelihood relied on such things that would make sense but I’m not.

I’ve taken time off from work ... the children are away for a few weeks … friends are occupied else where..
It’s just time for me to detoxify all the internal stresses and concerns that just don’t matter.
Sometimes my breathing gets erratic … then I discover it’s because I've forgotten to breathe ...
I tense up at the thought of opening the refrigerator door … I don’t understand that one at all.
It's time to detox, to get away from all that is stressful... and to return to what has made me here.
So far.... so good.
