I've reached my limit, so I'm running away from home: I kept thinking my exhaustion wasn't a big deal.

I'm just so tired.
There's been all sorts of things going on at home.

That said, I'm just tired.
It's not a big deal, really.
Well, things like this happen all the time.

……Beep!!!
This is what's not good.

I've always done that, saying it's not a big deal and ignoring it.

There are people who have it much worse.
I can manage just fine.
If I take a break for something like this, I'll never get anything done.
I want my children to grow up well.

That's how I've been downplaying my own "tiredness."
Putting it off has become second nature before I knew it.

But today, I'm going to make this day all about taking care of that exhaustion!!!

So, I made a declaration.
"Mom has reached her limit, so I'm running away from home!"

I didn't have anywhere to go, so I went to my usual cafe.
After sorting through my muddled thoughts in my notebook for a while, I felt a bit better.

Now then, I don't want to go home just yet.
I haven't been to an art museum lately, and there are a few movies I'd like to see.

…or so I thought, but
when I looked up at the sky, there were beautiful mackerel clouds!!

Wow. Today, I have to go see the sky.
And so, without even looking up art museums or movies, I decided to go to the park.

Arriving at the park,

I paid my respects at my favorite spot and set up camp in the middle of the meadow.

I don't need a picnic mat.
I want to enjoy the grass to the fullest.

Shoes, toss!
Socks, toss! Toss!!
Roll over!!

Today, too, the joy of being able to spend time with the sky.

First, I stare intently at the clouds.
After that, I played with the clouds a little bit.
The details are a bit much to write about publicly, so it's a secret! (If you want to hear, ask me directly)

When the sun starts to set,
the grass feels somehow moist.
I confirm that sensation with my whole foot.

From sunset to twilight,
from sun to moon,
from today to tomorrow.

I simply feel the "now" that connects moment by moment.

This is how I play in the park.
(I wrote this note in the meantime)
Today, I'll stay until the sunset like this.
I'll probably be here for about three hours in total.

Neither the clouds nor the grass offer me advice.
They are just there for me.
At any time, always, right there.

Well then. Satisfied.
I think I'll head home by the end of the day.
