Salvaging Summer Solitude 

“Solitude is where I place my chaos to rest and awaken my inner peace.” (Nikki Rowe)

Oftentimes my goal to obtain inner peace on any given day can be an overwhelming task to accomplish. Understand that my historically tested tendency to “ramp up” my physical and emotional responses to life challenges produces unneeded stress at various seasonal times. During my thirty some teaching years, for example, I depended on overworking myself day and night  to solve those periods of crisis in managing my classroom environments efficiently. Then when summer vacations arrived, matters of leisurely enjoyment often seemed to be the furthest habit to induce on my mind. 

So that’s where making time to have fun during more recent  summertime road travels comes in to help me enjoy more relaxing times in various regions visited when I can. Yet with my keen awareness of more vacationers on the move during these warmer weather months across America, I’ll need to “dig deep” to find more unexpected de-stress opportunities to avoid such potential crowded chaotic frenzy.

I invite you then to preview our upcoming itinerary next month in the title photo above. In particular, observe those shaded regions we intend to visit on our upcoming northerly route. You can also obtain in the annotated photographic list below some specific paired insights predicting how I might salvage summer solitude during each of our thirteen planned stopovers.
