Comfort Zone

I like to stay within my comfort zone or routine especially when I'm driving. Every once in awhile I challenge and surprise myself. The other day was one of those days.

A chance to work in Newport sounded intriguing, however, this meant driving on roads which are unfamiliar to me. After agreeing I'd be there at 9am I heard there would be fog that morning. Nothing can give me a panic attack like driving in the fog. This fear stems from driving too fast in heavy fog one day and driving my car off the road and into a farmer's field.

The drive to Newport was through beautiful farmland. In one area a ribbon of fog wrapped around a farm with a white three rail fence. A lovely Kodak moment, unfortunately I forgot my camera. After work I couldn't resist walking on the beach. The high tide was rolling in with a light breeze in the air I couldn't ask for a better day.

Through the Van Duzer corridor the trees are beginning to turn fall colors. I always love this time of year.  My husband and I enjoy going for drives while our area of Oregon changes into fall.

Had I not stepped out of my comfort zone I would have missed the beautiful scenery of fall. So I challenge everyone to step out of the comfort zone and experience something different this week.
