I don’t know about the rest of you, but I get really excited about road trips.

I am leaving on a road trip today and what is unique about this one is that I am going by myself. This is a new and exciting adventure! I have always gone on road trips with my family. Packing the car, making sure we have snacks and that everyone has all their needs met has always been my “job”. Today, however, is all about making sure “I” have everything “I” need and that all of “MY” needs are met. So very unusual!

So, as I am gathering up my “stuff”, I can’t help but be a little bit apprehensive. What if I get tired? What if I get a flat tire? What if I get in an accident? As I create more and more “what if’s” in my mind, I began to get a little bit scared about heading out on the open road by myself. I have a tendency to do this to myself and it is definitely something I need to work on! Calm down and enjoy the trip, is what I tell myself over and over again!

Phew… take a deep breathe…put my head in my happy place…have fun and don’t worry…

Ok, all better now! 

I really am totally excited and I KNOW everything will be fine. My husband offered to go with me, but I am pretty excited about just getting away by myself. Who knows what exciting adventures I may encounter and what great blogging ideas I may see along the way.

So, away we go. I look forward to writing about “Road trip – 2” when I can post pictures and tell stories of the encounters I may have along the way and the great experiences I may enjoy after arriving at my destination!

Happy blogging! Talk with you soon!
