     Bored, stressed and tired of commonplace existence?  Try Uprooting yourself and relocating to one of many undiscovered places nearby.  It may just be the panacea for your unsettled feelings.  You could drive leisurely and explore an undiscovered, scenic place.  You might want to take a day trip to a park, a museum, a lake, a river.  If you want to really be more adventurous, you may head out to nearby beaches or to the mountains!  If you like, tap a combination location of water and mountain. 

My recent discovery place for just the perfect get away from mundane existence was about an hour and a half drive out of my sleepy Greensboro City to the rich, open, and luxurious Badin Lake.  Perfectly situated around the Uwharrie Mountains of North Carolina, Badin Lake boasts of rustic, contemporary lake houses, varied flora and fauna, and its beautiful bluish-green water.  The mountain slopes that surround the lake soothe and calm, and positively overwhelm eyes craving for gardens of magenta rhododendron, salt marshes and pine forests.  Surprise appearances of blue heron, geese and native birds add to the visitors’ desired calm and solitude.   

For what are you waiting?  Get up, go, and find your heart and mind’s sanctuary!
