Yesterday we got hit with one of those overnight storms that start with rain and gradually turn to freezing rain culminating with sleet and snow. It makes the road conditions precarious. I prepared well by parking my Ford Escape with the front of the vehicle facing the street to maximize the front-wheel-drive on the icy driveway. The thick layer of ice on my windows was too daunting to remove so I opted to drive my wife's SUV to my day job.
My morning commute was a test to see if my anxiety was really gone from a serious auto accident I suffered nearly two years ago. The road conditions were hauntingly familiar. I'm happy to report I passed the test with flying colors. I concentrated on the beautiful scenery all around and ignored the overturned semis on the side of the interstate. Many of the people we serve decided not to venture out so I seized the opportunity to return home early and spend most of the day with my wife. I'm so thankful to be anxiety-free. It's really easy to get trapped looking in the rearview mirror because of a tragic event from the past but I refuse to be a prisoner. If you're struggling with anxiety, get help. Come back and visit often. I'm declaring this blog as an anxiety-free zone. Thank you for visiting. Have a great day.
