Last week I had the opportunity to drive down to Mexico with a friend. She has a small condo in a little fishing village on the Sea of Cortez – Bahia Kino. My friend had recently lost her husband, and was wanting someone to take the drive with her. I volunteered thinking ‘kind of an adventure!
During the weeks leading up to our departure I was starting to feel apprehensive
concerned about the drive, driving in Mexico at all, and crossing the border, as well as dealing with some family issues. We were both a bit apprehensive also as we had never really spent that amount of time in such close quarters together. Our get together’s were primarily a couple of hours – centered around dinner or lunch – pretty non-invasive. This drive and trip turned out to be a fantastic and amazing time for me. It was wonderful taking the road trip with my friend and talking about our lives and loves, and getting to really know each other. We went from being surface friends to being really close friends. 
It was eye opening and liberating to be able to enjoy such a beautiful experience in so many joyful moments.
I am grateful that I was able to rock this trip, without too much preliminary agita. And, as I get older and more relaxed with myself again, I am so happy that I still have the ability to be open and let experiences happen. I would rather look back on my life and say “I can’t believe I did that” then to look back and say “I wish I did that”.
I’m going back to my hippie roots; taking life one day at a time; lovingly, peacefully, and joyfully. YAY .
