Yesterday I drove about 1000km. I did it with two stops - a pee break and one to refuel (car and me).
It was absolute bliss eating up the kilometers in my bubble, completely unplugged from the world. No radio, no news, no information coming in.

I listened to stories, old and new, via podcasts. Alone with my thoughts and no distractions. Just me and the country roads that require you to pay them attention, but who reward you with views and vistas and peace.
And it felt like I just exhaled. The whole day - just one big phew.
Letting go of the tension of what was happening and coming next. And just not needing to give a fuck about it. What could I do hundreds of kms away from everything? Nothing. And nothing needed me that badly.

The payoff - a speedy day trip and I got to hangout with my daughter who missed me and was still awake and dinner with my mum. This morning it was wrestling and tickle fights with my nieces.
I'm sorry if you're stuck for Christmas. I am. I had to deal with my daughters tears last night because her cousins wont be joining us for Christmas. That was hard. And it's justifiable. I wanted to see them too.
The one thing I will take away from this COVID mess is that people need each other. They need to see faces, to touch and hold and listen to each other. Hopefully we all remember that, and take the time over the next couple of months to do that, it doesn't require Christmas.
