Wife checked out

[2ltl2lt]

I'm a thousand miles from nowhere, time don't matter to me, I'm a thousand miles from nowhere and there's no place I want to be. I've got bruises on my memory I've got echoes in my head, all that I keep hearing are the cruel cruel things that you said.

I went for a long hike today, a long slow hike through the brush of south Texas. As I made my way down the trail I noticed something moving on the ground. Upon closer inspection I saw that it was ants. A long trail of them, all carrying a piece of a leaf they had toiled to chew into something they could use for the ensuing winter. It was pretty windy today and as I watched them carry the pieces of leaves that were many times their size I saw them getting blown away by the force of the wind, like a sail on a boat. They would fly into the brush far from the path they were on and continue to struggle to find their way back to the path. Some of them undoubtedly didn't make it back. But the ones that did brought promise to the future of the colony. As I watched this happen and related it to the struggle we are all on I realized that as long as we continue to fight our way back to the path we are on there is always hope for the future.

I am enjoying the time I am taking to clear my head and see the bigger picture in all of this. I highly recommend taking a few days off for yourself and not worrying about the outcome. Your job will be there when you get back, your problems will be there when you get back, but go somewhere and live for few days. It is worth more than you can imagine.
