After hearing Anita Baker sings those words ... I know exactly what she meant while singing them. It seems as if certain people in our lives take 'us' for granted ... and they don't know what they've got until it's gone. Maybe I'm due for a disappearing act where I shut off the telephone, cellular phone, discontinue answering e-mails, and ignore Instant Messages. I need some 'me' time ... Some time where I just exhale ... but being that I have the hardest time saying "No," -- I'll be unable to turn my back on anyone ... As much as I would like too.

Alright ... I'm Gone
