[Current O.W.W.L. Journey] I have been feeling trapped

Last weekend we had 14 inches of snow in 2 days. I know this doesn’t compare to the weather back east, but since I live at the bottom of a very steep, long driveway in the mountains, I felt trapped. To make matters worse, the snow plow for the road didn’t arrive until later in the day, even if I could have escaped my driveway. The main problem was that the snow storm came on my only day off when I had fun things to do that had to be rescheduled, including a massage.

Trapped…that’s a word that many of us have used for other circumstances than snow…trapped in a relationship, trapped in a financial situation, trapped in a job, trapped in a body you don’t love, etc. It occurs this way for me when I think I don’t have options or choice. What makes you feel trapped?

I realized that I do have options regarding this snow. I can sell my house and move to town. I can watch the weather report and stay in a motel or with a friend if snow is imminent. I can reschedule my time so that I have a day off during the week when the snow has melted.

So I shifted the experience of feeling trapped to an experience of having the opportunity to be creative and change my context. We surely do need the moisture for our parched forests, after all!
