| It all began with walking down these stairs... |
So it finally happened!
My biggest fear became a reality!
I'm officially homeless!
Seriously, I have no home!
No address.
No place to rest my head with a roof over me!
Nada, zip, nothing!
So, my fear fed into the only thing I had
(or so I thought at the time)
to run, escape, travel, go to a place I thought I could find permanency!
I climbed into Subie
and hit the road...
"Come out west, your family and friends are here"
they said...
 |
Driving out of Virginia...
I thanked the trees for the years I had enjoyed them so! |
 |
Over the Potomac
Would this be my last time? |
 |
| The river was full and flowing fast, just like my heart was! |
 |
| I briefly drove through Maryland and on into... |
 |
Pennsylvania!
Onto the highways and byways
heading west now... |
 |
Despite the fear that crept into my mind
the beauty I saw/experienced
was breathtaking! |
 |
| The sun was warm and I was on an adventure! |
 |
The open road fed my spirit for adventure
AND
fueled my fear at times.
Homelessness was now a reality. |
 |
I stopped for the night at an obliging rest area
some 10 hours after heading out.
I woke to these cuties... |
 |
Tried to find the comfort in knowing
that I would be ok
if I just embraced my reality without so much fear! |
 |
The surrounding beauty comforted me
until... |
 |
My thoughts flooded in...
Homelessness is not acceptable
and being homeless now,
well, I was alone. |
 |
I began driving with a hungry tummy
but well rested.
What would my future be like?
I worried and wondered. |
 |
I drove until I could not safely do so, anymore.
Another rest area welcomed me. |
 |
So many bugs were killed upon Subie's windshield!
But the sunset was lovely! |
 |
Rocky Mountain range in the distance.
I'd driven for two full days, and slept safely
in Subie
for two nights.
I was very grateful! |
 |
Seriously Wyoming!?!
LOL
I'm gonna go my own speed
(which was slower)
But I kept moving forward. |
 |
It's been a very hot road trip!
Temps well into mid to high 90's.
|
 |
This rest area was wonderful.
I knew I was growing closer to my destination!
After a quick wash-up
soaking my hair and body to cool off,
I snapped a few pictures of Subie... |
 |
Subie!
in all her glory! |
 |
Subie has been such a comfort to rest in
and rely on! |
 |
Ok Subie
Lets hit the road again...
|
Heading West continues on next posting...
