Stranded, unloved or unsure, the cure is to drive west with the window rolled down, the radio playing -- the whole deal.
  • I needed to hear that ....

    God did I need to read this article today. Overwhelmed by Christmas expectations ... visiting family in Canada ... I ran away to a seedy motel, listening to hookers make some other lonely people happy as I lay there in my bed, contemplating my life. Finding confort in my "woe is me" solitude, I booked another night in this motel ... it was the next best thing to running away (I had no car) and just review my needs and maybe prioritize them a bit better. I was a burnt out 54 year old grandmother and wife with a healthy extended family members on both sides. The big question was where was I in this picture. Next year at this time I hope to make that trip "out west somewhere!"
