Breaks

The daily writing prompt asks – Do you need a break? From what?

The easy answer is yes, I need a break and it’s from the weather. The feels like temp is 4 degrees and that is probably the warmest it’s going to be today. The 24-mph wind right now is expected to double which is going to make exposed skin dangerous. I really need a break from the wind over the next 12 hours so the power will stay on.

I also need a break from politics but taking one is dangerous because things move very fast right now.

I need to take a break from TV. I need to take a break from eating sweets. I need to take a break from negative people. I need to take a break from the routine. I need to take a break from being inside (when it warms up) and be outside with nature. I need to take a break from reading online and pick up a book more.

A break from

Do you need a break? From what? So asks the daily writing prompt.

Yes I need a break.

I need a break from doctors. Their offices, their waiting rooms, their imaging facilities, their hospitals, their billing departments and insurance companies.

I need a break from winter. I’m cold and I hate being cold.

I need a break from people who lose their minds behind the wheel and drive like A-holes. They are tempting me to start a new career as Dr. Karma.

I need a break from all the lies, conspiracy theory’s, anger and hate in politics.

I need a break from responsibilities. I friggen retired last month and I’m waiting for that parrothead lifestyle to begin.

But always remember. YOU make your own breaks in LIFE.
