2021 in Review❣

My photo review will happen as soon as I have decent reception.🤞🏼

The first few months of 2021 were tough for me, just like everyone else. I was struggling at work & it made me really unhappy. As most of you know, I was the Activity Director for a small rest home & I loved my job, pre-Covid. When Covid blasted it’s way into our world, I went from being someone who always tried my best to brighten everyone’s day to The Grinch That Stole Christmas, every day. Instead of doing activities to enrich the lives of my residents, I helped enforce our quarantine regulations. It was heartbreaking & it definitely crushed my spirit. I made the bittersweet decision to walk away. 🥺

Green is definitely NOT my best color. 🥴
This was always my motto at work.
I tried………..💔
I love this quote by Zig Ziglar! 💝
I kinda made both choices!😁
I’ve been hoping my FEAR of heights would have subsided by now, but after 8+ months on the road, I’m still terrified. 🥺 In most cases, I’ve been able to fight through it & move forward. I didn’t drive on the road above, but some were eerily similar. The difference has been that a majority of the SCARY roads don’t have breakdown lanes or “curbs” & they drop off hundreds of feet into the abyss below. 😳
This is absolutely true! 🌞
I’ve rarely had any thoughts of giving up on this journey… 💕

It’s still been a little bit CHILLY here in the desert! 🥶 Even local residents & annual visitors have been complaining. The WIND has made it far worse. 😒 The past 2 weeks have occasionally made me question my decision to stay here, but everyone’s been telling me it will improve soon. I’ve managed to keep us safe & warm (enough) by staying in the car, as needed.
The WIND was brutal, especially in a tent! 😳
THIS is what I’ve been expecting❣ It started out this way when we arrived here in early December, but since then, it’s been COLD. Now I’m glad I chose to wait it out! 😎
My plans for 2022. 😍

On May 2, 2021, I departed from Massachusetts in my 2017 Ford Edge (Breezy Blue) with my 13.5 year young pup, Maddie, to fulfill a lifelong dream of a road trip across America. Our departure was delayed by a month, but we're making up for lost time now! My goal is to be out and about for a year.
