On Getting Away from the Big City

When I need a break from city-living, I go camping. Out in Joshua Tree (where I will spend Memorial Day Weekend) there is no cell service (big plus!), no showering, no cars honking at intersections, and no to-do list. Nada. High heels, ringing phones, and Facebook status updates quickly become replaced with sand, jack rabbits, huge fantastic rock formations, and the unique, obscure Joshua Tree (pictured above). My anxious thoughts become replaced with calmness and a whole lot or doing nothing or doing very simple things--like running, and running, and running. Happy Long Weekend. I hope you get the chance to get away too.  Xo.
