When the world closes in...life becomes too hectic and overwhelming....where do you go to get away?
Does your imagination take you to a "happy place" where the rest of the world does not exist? It is just you....and the sights, scents, sounds, and feelings that are highly sensitized when you are there.
I like to take a moment to escape, and imagine myself chillaxed on a tropical beach, somewhere in the South Pacific, on a chaise lounge, under a big umbrella, with a Hurricane drink in each hand, sunglasses perched atop my head, smelling like cocoanut Coppertone, watching the ocean waves rolling in, and feeling the warm tropical breezes kissing my skin as lightly as the feather-touch of a lover!
And then I hear the sounds of the ultimate buzz-kill....."Moooom! telephooooone!
Oh well, it was awesome while it lasted!
But someday, in the not too distant future, I am going back to that Happy Place. I am going to spend the rest of my life there, soakin' in the last warm rays of the sun, listening to the soft sounds of the local island music, with the scent of the cocoanut Coppertone oil that my body is bathed in.....mixing with the scents of the jasmine and gardenia flowers floating through the air.
The ecstacy of sipping on those cold fruity drinks........
"Mooooooooom!....the phone!!!
Damnit! At this moment, I'd rather be suckin' down those fruity drinks like a Hoover vaccum!
