There has been too much going on in my life lately.  Aside from my share of tragedies, of which there are more than a few right now, the earthquake and tsunami in Japan has left me worried about friends over there, with no way of really getting in touch with them to see if they are alright.  All of that, with writing deadlines, the demands of the charitable organizations that I belong to, and the ups and downs of having a special needs child who is now on school break, has really left me frazzled and worn out.  It does not seem like the nights are long enough, and I wake up feeling just as exhausted as when I laid down to sleep.  It even bleeds into my dreams, and things that I would rather not think about at all become the focus of what should be my time in the arms of Morpheus.

I have began to worry about my sanity, and being friends with the chaplain at the state mental hospital, I have taken time to sit with him and discuss some of my dilemma.  His advice has been timely, and has assured me that while I am under a lot of stress, my mind and stability are intact.  Right now it is more important to reclaim some of what might be considered psychological lost ground before I let myself be any more overwhelmed than I already feel that I am.  We discussed several options aimed at getting me out of my current life for a while and allowing me some time to regroup and come back fighting.  The recommendation that caught my interest the most was to spend some time in a local spa in Boston.

Going to the spa meant that I would not have to worry a lot about travel expenses, since it was right in the city.  I would also be able to step back into my life quickly and easily should the need arise.  When we talked about going on vacation, I remembered the sad story of a friend of mine who flew to Hawaii for a once in a lifetime vacation with her sisters, only to have to come back right away because one of her sons was hurt in a tragic accident.  All of that money and time was lost, and because of what happened, she lost her health.  I did not want the same thing for me, and so a spa seemed like the best thing in the world.
