Ever been in a rut? No not a snow rut but always doing things the same way, time after time? Like always doing home chores the same day, the same routine: laundry on Mondays, groceries, cleaning, etc!! Some of the routine is no big deal but I know friends who will not divert when asked to do something else because they are entrenched in doing a specific task that day!!
Well, I am facing this same thing right now. Traveling a distance on the same roads brings a comfort level, knowing the traffic, gas stations, etc. leaves little to the imagination. Yes, there are some drawbacks, including construction, high volume and slowdowns.
I am planning an entirely differen route, which brings anxiety about mileage, rest stops, and other things. There's a comfort curve that I don't have yet because it's been over forty years of being on this new route.
What do you do when changes come your way? Get ridgid and avoid spontaneity? Or look at the opportunity as exciting and enriching? Many situations can be adjusted and completed at a later time. For me, it's worth trying something new and different. There's always a way, or more, to get out of a rut!
