(((Norma, Gypsy))), it's wonderful to hear that you have faced a fear, as you do it more and more, it will lessen, I too was nervous the first time I had to drive on a freeway, but as I did it more and more, I got use to it, so that it didn't scare me anymore, it's ok to be stressed, when you get off the freeway, just do something nice and soothing for yourself, have a cup of tea, or a soda and sit there and chill. Pretty soon it will become like second nature. Few of the folks out here like driving on the interstate, unless they have to travel for great distances, they take the side roads, and some will even travel side roads if they do.. I still don't mind driving on them, but now after living where it isn't near as congested as L.A. the amount of traffic on them gets on my nerves.. When I first moved out here to South Carolina, I use to giggle about people fussing about the traffic, and there might have been 25 cars on the road, the 405 freeway in California during rush hour would have drove them over the edge, I find myself now fussing about all the traffic..lol, but of course now there are many more cars than 25. |
I took the interstate today...
I made myself do it...
I thought "well, if all of these other people are doing this I should be able to do it, I have only been driving for 35 years
and took a deep breath and floored it
and there I was doing it...
felt better when I got off...but, at least I did it...
