I’ll be away this weekend on a ‘recovery and recuperation’ trip.
The objective is to put distance between myself and all the shit and relationship fall-out that’s been plaguing my life since the truth about my sham marriage finally started coming out.
I’m going with my mentor; a person who has tirelessly helped, advised and guided me – almost back to my old self – for the last couple of weeks.
Last night I was told (and I’m massively paraphrasing, because it was put in such a focussed yet gentle way that is impossible to reproduce here) ‘I want you to leave your laptop and smartphone at home’.
*gulp*
We talked about it and it soon became clear what the logic behind that was; a complete ‘get away from crap’ break.
I’ve never had a total seperation like that before.
So, yeah, I’m leaving my laptop at home.
I am taking my smartphone, but it will be switched off for 23-1/2 hours a day – I need to keep checking-in with Daughter, obv.
But that’s it; no other IT-related contacts.
I’ve been told that I need to concentrate on me, I need to concentrate on the break away from home, I need to concentrate on having a relaxing time.
See why my mentor has been so good at repairing me?
You could do with a break, Brennig – hope it delivers the beginnings of a healing phase. Laptops are a distraction – you need to focus on you right now. Mya x
This break will do you the world of good. Enjoy!
Bring me back a stick of rock, willya?
Good on them for delivering some cracking advice! Have a lovely time….
Folks, four days after returning from a brilliant time in Rome and the world is *still* a better place. Fantastic.
