Do you ever wish you could stop the world and hop off somewhere for a moment or maybe for a while?

Not really. I sometimes know I need a break and then I take one. My husband and I take pretty regular weekends to ourselves and we go somewhere and just play and try to do nothing connected with work. I don’t really ever feel the need to escape from my life entirely though. I have in the past had this feeling but thankfully my life is much happier now.

I do. That’s why I have my bedroom and a guitar! I find just playing for a few hours really does wonders for my attitude and perspective!

Sometimes I wish I could fly above the clouds and be rejuvenated by the sun’s direct rays, you know, like Superman. I figure he’s bored a lot, being so much more powerful than us that he does that often for exactly this reason.

Since life is to short I’d try to enjoy it as much as I can. Being able to hop off somewhere just means I’d be close to death. [or so I think]

No, I like the ride. It’s an E ticket.

It would be nice to hop off and shoot people with spitwads.;)

No, because all my children and grandchildren are here. It would actually feel a lot better if I could just smack some heads together, though! : D

Yes….absolutely!! I am doing it right now! It’s called a vacation! ;)

@Cruiser

You can afford a VACATION? OMG! ; ))

@CaptainHarley. Yep! Obama did not get ALL my money….yet ! ;)

@Cruiser Why are you giving Obama money? You must really love him. You know he gets a big salary, right?

Stop the world! I wanna get off!

Well, I don’t need to stop the world to get off. I just invite my wife to the bedroom!

Escape people? Naw. Can’t say I’ve felt the need. Maybe there are times when I want to get away from an individual, but that’s generally not very hard. People in general? Naw. I like people, generally.

I love solitude, but only as a counterpoint to being with people.

Yes, absolutely! Sometimes I just want to float above the world for a while.

Of course! Every couple of weeks I just want to have an hour or two where I don’t worry about something, or need to do something, or have some responsibility. Then I would come back and continue on.

Oh, yes. That is when I hop in my car and turn my radio on full blast and try to figure out somewhere to go.

Sure.

Frequently.

I am a part of my world, just as much as are the stars and galaxies. I belong here. My children are here, and my grandchildren, and the woman I love and married. I could no more leave than I could saw off my own arm. Yet, sometimes quietness and solitude comfort me… I can hear the voice of God whispering to me in the quiet of the mountains, or in the depths of the forest. So, yes, there are times when I love to get away and be alone, but I have need of others of my kind, and they have need of me. We have responsibilities one to the other, just as I have responsibilities to the rest of creation.

Yes, and throw some people OFF!

Yes…But Saturn can be… Dangerous.

Yes everyday
