What I need

You wanna know what I need?

I need a weekend away with my family in the trailer.

I feel like I cannot breathe.

I feel like hiding.

I need some space……………….yes, the trailer gives me space. 

When I am in it, I can breathe again.

I find myself wandering out to it daily. 

I sit, and listen to the quiet.

I play with my daughter on her bunk bed…..we have a basket of “trip toys” and it is a treat for her to play with them.

I open the cabinet that holds all of our food, and I smell the smell of the beach.  I smell the spices that I throw in with our fresh Gulf shrimp. 

I go to our room and lay on our bed and close my eyes…..I think about our nights and reading stories with my kids in the big bed in the trailer.

I need to get away so that I can feel like me again.
