Hi, first day on our trip

We made it to Kentucky fine, it is so beautiful here. My anxiety is coming & going, been trying to stay focus & remember to breathe & remind myself I am safe. It's hard because I miss home & my pets. Enjoying time with friends, been forever since we've done a trip. We used to do weekend trips to wine country together. Hope everyone is enjoying their day ๐Ÿงก

Sorry was going to add a photo, but for whatever reason I can't right now... will post another post sometime soonish.

Thanks, definitely going to take some time & mediate later. Did a bit on the plane yesterday, which helped. Might listen to some tunes if can't get into the zone.

I feel you. Traveling is one of my big fears too. Hopefully, it gets relaxing as you settle in though. Have you done anything cool on the trip?

It for the most part was good... a few anxious moments & never got used to the time difference. Enjoyed being with my friends... hopefully we'll do friend trips more often. Hans is very happy to have us home.

Hope your having a nice time ๐Ÿ’• x
