Calgon, take me away!!!

Have you ever felt bogged down by life? Sometimes it just seems that I have too many concerns on my mind and I just want to run away and disappear! The bills and problems will still exist, I just will not acknowledge them for a while. I'll feign blissful ignorance...

Many days I dream of just packing it up and moving to Spain! That is my (not-s0-secret-anymore) dream. When we were self-employed, I told Tony, "We don't have a job to report to, we don't own a home, we have nothing really "keeping" us here, you know? Why not just up and move to Spain for a couple years? Well, unfortunately, unless you are debt free, that's just not an option. We are working on it, we are closer than ever, but not quite there yet. It's frustrating!

So, this isn't a "everything-turns-out-okay-in-the-end" blog entry, sorry! But maybe it will help some of my friends out there feel that they aren't in that "boat" alone. I'm in it right now and i'm sure others will be joining us shortly! I think the key is to focus on the things that ARE going well, to help minimize the problem areas...at least for a bit. Think of it as a "mental" vacation! So, grab a Starbucks, put on your iPod and put on your "Life is Good" playlist! We were given imaginations for a reason!

Blessings,
Eliana
