Off The Beaten Path
Today I got caught in a huge traffic jam on the way home. Cars were crawling along at a mind-numbing 5 miles per hour.
I reprogrammed my GPS and made my way to the nearest exit. The new route took me a long way around. Several miles through residential neighborhoods, through the city then eventually back to a freeway.
And you know what? It wasn't bad.
Sure, it took me a long time to get home but I was constantly moving, out of traffic and I was able to take in completely new scenery. I passed a couple of great restaurants, unique stores, beautiful homes, a miniature golf place, a concert hall and even a car raceway. Huh?! I know! LOL.
Then before long, I started recognizing my area again... I was nearly home. It made me realize, every now and then, it's nice to go off the beaten path. Every now and then, making a point to see, do, or try something new can be a great adventure or just a needed change of pace. Tonight it was both for me.
My unplanned, yet very eventful, night drive was my joy moment for today.
Vroom Vroom!
Stay tuned :-)
