Ahoy there matey Mommy needs a break.
I am currently feeling quite lucky to live in America. The politics aside it is amazing. I needed a break and my amazing husband suggested I go to see the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie. I latched on to the suggestion with enthusiasm that has been hard to muster in the past couple days.
As I pulling out of the garage I mused over my blessings. We have a home and a family. I don’t have to constantly worry that a war zone may appear near our home. We can get the medical care we need. Food and clothing is readily available. Modern plumbing is amazing. And we live in a society full of diversions. So, if we need a break and I can’t take a vacation. I can take a couple hour break without going to far from home. Poof an instant vacation.
I loved the movie. I don’t understand why the critics said the plot was unknowable and hard to follow. It answered a ton of questions and of course opened up more about the characters. The beginning has this great surreal quality. I got what I was looking for. I mind dazzling adventure. A mini vacation with no responsibilities for me.
My spring is back and I’m ready to face the days to come.
