Driving the roads less traveled....

I needed to get away for a while. To be alone with my thoughts and get in a better place. It is good therapy to just hope in the car go. Wind blowing in my hair and just driving with no destination I mind just me and my thoughts. I am back home now and feel somewhat better then I did. Going to sit a nice, relaxing bath soon. Better times are ahead.
Do you like to get in the car and go for a drive when you need some alone time?

Driving tends to stress me out and give me anxiety, so I avoid it unless I have to go somewhere. I'd prefer a walk to clear my mind.

I'm sorry for whatever is going on. I don't drive so I can't do that but I know many people do that. I hope things get better for you soon.

@Happy2BeMe It can be nice to just drive around for the fun of it. I have done it loads of time and really enjoyed it.

Yes I find them very enjoyable. It is nice just to get out and drive with no destination in mind.

@Happy2BeMe being with yourself and no distractions give you the chance to clear your mind

@Happy2BeMe it probably isn't the healthiest thing to do but I've always kept it inside.

Right now anything that would help get my mind off our problems and onto something better is needed. Hope you can find something that will work better for you.

That works too though. You just need that alone time sometimes.

You can't run away from your troubles but an escape can be therapeutic.

We do that often on the weekends. It is some of my favorite times.

The price of gasoline makes me much less likely to go for a drive in the car. I can walk or take my bicycle out when I need to get away and clear the cobwebs.

I do that sometimes when I need to clear my mind, but other times I like to just sit at the beach or near waater.

That works for me too but it is too cold here for that just yet.
