Road Trip

Road trips are the perfect way for me to get some thinking in and clear my head and that's exactly what I did last week. It was exactly what I needed. Driving to the destination is always fun, but the drive home...not so much. 


Obligatory selfie.  What else am I supposed to do when I'm bored?!







Here are a few of the things I came up with during my drive...

"Had me in the palm of your hand
Man, why'd you have to go and lock me out when I let you in
Stay, hey, now you say you want it
Back, now that it's just too late
Well could've been easy, all you had to do was stay..."

"But I don't know what to say
I've been picking up the pieces of the mess you made..."

"Now we got problems
And I don't think we can solve them
You made a really deep cut
And baby now we got bad blood..."

"Rain came pouring down when I was drowning
That's when I could finally breathe..."

"This love left a permanent mark
This love is glowing in the dark
These hands had to let it go free
And this love came back to me..."

"Band-Aids don't fix bullet holes
You say sorry just for show
You live like that, you live with ghosts..."

Or...Maybe I indulged in Taylor Swift's new album on repeat and these lyrics haven't quite escaped my mind yet. Guilty pleasure for sure.

And as I drug myself in to work today I was greeted with these two gems on my desk...



I absolutely love the people I work with.

Escape

Running was never something I truly enjoyed until about 6 years ago and then it became my escape from the real world. When I run I don't think about what's going on at work. I don't think about my personal life. I just go blank. Running numbs my mind and I love it. 
I've even missed going to the gym so it has made its way back in to my weekly routine with my favorite workout buddies. 
My workouts the last 2 days have definitely been the highlight of the day. I haven't decided if I want a do-over for this week or if I'm just ready for it to be over with. I'll be honest. I have been an absolute monster It has sucked. 2 weeks to go until my getaway and a relaxing weekend with my favorite things. I can not wait. 

Until then I'll hope for more days like this...









And....the last explains why I have to workout. ❤️
