escape

 

Do you ever wanna escape? run and hide? disappear?  Even for just a bit?

Some days, life can be a little much! I catch myself moving too fast, doing too much at once.... and I know it's time to slow down and breathe. Even if it's just for a few minutes. 

Recently we painted our guest room in shades of white. Everything including the bedding, the curtains and the furniture is white. It's fabulous. And because it's our guest room, it stays fresh and clean... orderly.... and so peaceful.

Often, just a peek inside can fill me with calm. And, my oh my, if I step in, lie down on the big fluffy (always made) bed, everything seems to stop! Ahh.... I can b r e a t h e, again. 

Where do you go to escape, be and breathe? Maybe it's your bedroom, a tiny corner of your home, a park bench, maybe it's an open field, under a tree, a window seat, the beach... Share your 'space' with us today.

What a soft and peaceful image!!!
And - yes - I do need to escape..to disappear..to breathe. It's to the mountains I go to find that sense of peace:

I never feel like coming back from there... can stay there forever n ever! But as they say.. u will realize the value of good things only if u have seen the bad ones.. so have to come to the same world again!

Your guests are lucky indeed to stay in that room :)

At the moment, I don't have to go farther than my own, sun-covered breakfast table:

This is my escape. http://www.flickr.com/photos/echie52/5972752244/in/photostream
After the crowds, and as the sun is setting. Nothing more peaceful to me.

I surround myself with nature to escape and breathe. Here is my spot:

My place where I sit and dream even if just for 10 minutes....http://rebeccalewissimplystated.blogspot.com/2011/07/escape.html

Just alone time works for me. Something to do alone, and have quiet, and just think. It's quite rare as I have a 5 yr old who likes to be with me every waking moment. Someday.... ;)

Losing myself in the creative processs is an escape for me . . . . .

. . . . but I also find nature to be soothing and calming.

The perfect place for me to relax, escape and rejuvenate...finding my "Under the Tuscan Sun" in Cortona, Italy.

The garden. Grabbing a trowel or watering can makes me happy. Even just standing there for a few minutes calms me. http://www.flickr.com/photos/liffords/5060946404/
Too bad summer in Texas is NOT gardening season.

I went to the zoo by myself this week. It's so beautiful there. It was so lovely to chose what I wanted to look at.

I feel a sense of peace and relaxation just imagining your white room. This post prompted me to think about a different kind of white space, that is, white space in my calendar. I've committed to making my August calendar as blank as I can. I blogged about it today...
