Floating away

The past week or two, I had become a crazy, grumpy, lunatic of a wife and mother. My husband realized that I really needed a restful vacation, and took me away to a wonderful resort last weekend.
The resort had views of a quite lake and several acres of forest. We took walks, had wine and dinner while looking out on the water and watching the sun set, and I took naps in our sunny suite.
But more than anything, I enjoyed the spa. I floated in the large heated pool and soaked in the hot tub until I was a prune. I steamed in the steam room and took the longest of showers. I was water logged, but I loved it!
When I am away from my children, I miss them terribly. But I relish the time to recoup my energies, refocus, and come back to them a happier mom.
Everyone should try to find even a few hours to escape and float.
