Today: This is super important.

[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]

There is a lot to worry about in this world.  There are things that keep us awake at night wondering, Why? There is war.  There is injustice.  There is hunger.  There is fear.  There is heartache.

And then, there are baby hippos.

Sometimes you need to get away from it all.  Remember that it’s okay to make an escape from the Real World (like the actual, real world, not the show).  Just be sure to book a return trip.

    omg… that little guy is adorable! And also, a little alien-esque. I like to mentally vacation on any/all gossip websites. And people’s blogs!

    I don’t often think to mentally vacation – worry and fret maybe. So today, thanks to your prompt, I am ‘pretending’ to be in Japan.
