Sunrise

It's been difficult to sleep lately and I've fallen into a pretty dark hole.  One of the things I've learned I need to help manage my moods is quiet...silence.  I don't have that in my life much anymore.  There are the other things pushing me towards the edge: my house, Mom's house and all of the things going wrong with each.  I feel like I'm hemorrhaging money.  Even my landline died and I have to buy a new set of phones.  It's just piling up.  So I need to get away for a few days.  The calmest place for me is up in the woods of our mountains.  The earliest dates I could make a reservation for a casita (cottage) in Madera Canyon is 1 November. Two nights/three days alone.  I'll probably still blip during my flee-time but who knows.  Maybe I'll just sit on the porch for hours and breathe in the cold, fresh air.  Woods, walks, wildlife, birds...silence..and sleep.
