I remember when we were growing up in GR & my dad would go to Muskegon every Tuesday for the whole evening to do pastoral counseling at a church & I thought it was SO FAR AWAY & He told me one time that he liked the drive...gave him time to think.
...& now I appreciate what he was saying...distancing yourself periodically from your "core" group or home or habitation can be very helpful esp to allevaite stress or anger, etc...& now GR to MUSEKEGON doesn't seem far at all. I'm cruising from L.A. to SAN DIEGO right now & that's 2 hours & actually seems fairly close...
