Creepy Feelings!

Recently I shared this picture.

I was sharing with Jeanie at The Marmalade Gypsy the background

and she recommended sharing it.

Now I don't often share negative feelings or things,

but it is good to be attentive to them at times.

On my way home from the beach a couple weeks ago

I decided to take a road less traveled to snap some pictures.

I was traveling alone, but pulled off at a small parking area

along the road. There were people in the distance, but no one nearby.

I set up my pictures and snapped away.

This was my last picture and I began loading up my props.

Yes, sometimes I set up tea pictures with props.

As I finished taking this picture another car pulled up next to my car.

It had two guys in the car with a skull painted on the hood.

I had that creepy feeling.

It's not one I have had often, but I have learned to pay attention.

I moved quickly, put my things in the car, and got in the car.

Once I got in the car, they left.

Now it may have been my imagination

and maybe I wasn't in harms way;

but I pay attention when a creepy feeling grabs hold.

One other time this happened when my daughter was in high school.

I had taken she and a friend to a place that happened to be rather

isolated. Same thing, two guys pulled up and I quickly ushered the girls

to the car.  It wasn't until many years later that my daughter said she

had the same feeling when that happened.

These stories I am sharing because I have found

the importance of "noticing what you notice", 

pay attention to how you feel in a situation

and act moving to safety.

May we as women travel always in safety

and pay attention to our gut feelings.
