Time out

Do you ever feel that you are stretched that bit too far? I'm a mum, a friend, a sister, an ex, a girlfriend, a colleague and probably a threat. I'm never alone. I need a bit of time to myself to re-organise my thoughts. To make sense of the muddle. To decide if it's worth it. I need to hang over Long Bridge and watch the river flow beneath. I need to look up and see the cathedral spire rising like a rocket against the blue sky. Maybe the swallows and swifts are due to arrive. I'll book a day off. I need to be me for a day.
