Thought and Poem – January 28, 2015
We just know when we need “it.” I know I do. We just know when we need to escape from all realities and do something fun that will allow us to unwind and pull ourselves together to the way we were before all the stresses we go through each day reshaped our minds and bodies.
When I find myself “panting” like I did when I delivered my children, I know it is time for me to run away and hide even if only for a little bit. If things are really bad, I will book a room at a condo-resort on the beach and allow the peaceful surroundings to snap me back to where I want my mind to be…at peace.

How silly of me to think that in this day and age with surmounting problems of all kinds, that I should believe that I could have peace. Forgive me. Actually I think I am on a journey that will leave me totally insane in the end. Thought I had been there before…looks familiar…or is it maybe that I never left? Hard telling these days as I don’t know from one day to the next what hit me! I find myself talking to myself/role playing my way out of messes I don’t know how I got into in the first place. Yup…it is time for that needed rest…away…far away.
What about you? When you have that mental inclination that you are losing it…going insane…where do you hide…or run away to? Share your thoughts with us…Jeanne Claire Probst

Going Insane?
When you feel as if you are going insane
Most times, being human is to blame.
With life getting crazier everyday
It is impossible not to end up this way!
We’ve all heard the saying, “if you can’t beat them, join them.”
Well, this is not one category that I with others wish to blend.
I have earned my “stripes” and after all my gripes
If I want to, I can go insane alone….it is my life!
Well, okay, you can join me if you want to
There is not much that you have to do
Most of what you needed to get to this point has already been done
I am sure you’ve done your share of crazy things by this time…and then some.
No need to fret, feel remorse or regret
Insanity is a condition that others like you just seem at some point in their lives to get.
It hits the best of us when we least expect
And we do some crazy stuff we wish we could forget.
So if you’re feeling like you are going insane
You probably know where you are in the stage of this game
No need to keep track of where you are going next
The doctor will write you a prescription for some “nice” pills and get you a room
Where you can put your life on hold and get a very nice long rest…it will be for the best!
