Life shouldn't be so tough sometimes. Things just stress us out... there's bills, working 40+ hours a week, trying to maintain a decent social life, chores, laundry, cleaning, etc. I used to wish there were more hours in a day so I could get everything done. Life has become this race to get everything done and to pack our schedules so full that we never actually get time for just being alive. Vacations sound so great, but even vacations are usually jam-packed with activities that leave you feeling more tired than relaxed. Life is tough. And as if being completely consumed by daily activities isn't enough, here comes the emotional part... Good days, bad days, crabby days, sad days, or all of them rolled into one single day!! That can wear a person out too!
Usually, when I've had a rough day I just want to lay in bed and do absoloutley nothing. But even though my body is completely exhausted, my mind will be running in circles and won't let me sleep. My mother always told me to read when I can't fall asleep... well, that would help if i was reading something boring. But who really wants to read something boring? Not me! I'll pick up my book and before you know it, 2 hours have gone by and I'm contemplating on if I should just stay up or take a little nap. Oh... yes.... a vacation sounds good to me. A real vacation. Somewhere warm. Tropical. Relaxing.
......With nothing to do but read a good book.
