I am going on vacation! All by myself! (Lol)
Ok, it’s only four days, but I am super excited, and to be honest a bit nervous, because:
- I’ve never taken a solo vacation before. This is sort of out of my comfort zone. But, at 65, it’s about time I try, right? As Neal Donald Walsch said “Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.” Sixty-five may be a bit late to begin living, and I certainly did not wait this long to do that. I have lived a wonderful life so far. This comfort zone thing is about whether I will be bored with myself. I mean, I live alone so I certainly have spent longer than four days by myself. Somehow, being at home by myself seems different than being on vacation by myself. Maybe I’m just overthinking it. More importantly…
- The anticipation of seeing incredible geology and hopefully the Milky Way around Moab, Utah coupled with a train journey is so over the top. My mind goes to Agatha Christie’s Murder on the Orient Express and the opulent train cars of those days, though I do not expect that on Amtrak. I am, however, very much looking forward to actually seeing parts of our country that I have flown over. I am looking forward to seeing the Arches and Canyon Lands National Parks. I think the spirits of ancient people and the stars will keep me company.
What exciting adventure would take you out of your comfort zone? Let me know, because who knows, you may inspire my next solo venture.
