Change of Scenery

This morning I took off. The people of the house were still sleeping. Even the dogs barely noticed me.

I had too many thoughts, too many spiraling feelings, and it was time to go. I do better with a change of scenery. My yard wasn’t big enough for today’s thoughts. Going down my road wasn’t enough either. I needed distance and space.

So I headed west. I stopped at Dunkin for a bacon, breakfast wrap, and kept going. I saw signs for a park that I hadn’t been to in awhile. So I went there. No one else was on the boardwalk or by the water. It was perfect.

I cried. I prayed. I received clarity on what was healthy to do next. It’ll take continued prayer and continued faith. Which is good because, I’ll mess this up. But, God, he won’t. And he’ll help me. ❤️

Tonight I am thankful for running away this morning. It was well needed! And I feel like I have a little more of a roadmap now for the next few turns of life.
