Road Trips


Angels follow me everywhere I go...

In my hope to teach while making moments memorable

"we have no fixed plans, or intent on arriving...just enjoying the journey"




I wonder until when my body can keep up with the long drives that I am so fond of.  My eyesight is brutally defective and 2 shots of strong coffee can barely keep me awake on distance drives.  But I have discovered that singing is an amazing way to keep me alert and my passengers entertained, most often (haha, i wish!). Those crooked roads, swerving uphill, downhill and chasing away the tricycles give me ample adrenalin rush.  I am amused that a middle aged adult like me has so much naughty and disruptive thoughts that make me smile and secretly pleased with myself.  If it weren't for some motherly and wifey concerns, I would have bought a small house hidden in the outskirts and stayed there every weekend of my life so that I have an alibi to vamoose from the world and take over behind the wheel.  

Driving gives me a certain calm by making me focus on the road as I make peripheral glimpses at the magnificent scenery I pass by.  Finally my mind is unruffled by hordes of thoughts that constantly nag me and for a few hours I reward myself an escape from reality.   I should confess my little escapes, the benign delights, the fabulous thrills, add spice to those dull moments we all experience once in a while, in our lifetime.  Just the thought of having an adventure excites me.  Yes, I constantly challenge myself and love doing this unrivaled guilty pleasure over and over again.  Road trip
BLISS!
