Running away can be good for the soul; I think we all should do it. Go ahead, I give you permission. Runaway from the everyday responsibilities of life, runaway from the chaos of traffic, schedules and deadlines, runaway from the stress.
And that's just what I did. This past weekend, I ran away from it all. And you know what? I enjoyed every single moment of it. It was so refreshing to step away from the daily life and routine just to breathe and reset myself. I escaped the hustle and bustle of the city, the smell of car exhaust and traded it in for a weekend up in Northern BC. I breathed in the crisp, cold mountain air and relished in the sound of my boots crunching in the snow.
The nights were dark and cold, only lit by the bonfire we made. The crackling and snapping of the logs burning as our breath came out in a cloud of white smoke was heavenly. There were no city lights around us; the stars were so bright they were almost blinding. I even stepped out of my element and tried something new; ice fishing. While we didn't catch anything, I had a great time, and so many memories were made.
Though the trip was short, it was just what I needed. The hectic deadlines at work had been draining me and with this mini trip, I let it all fall away. Sometimes, we just need a small reset ;)
