I love our
road trips.
My husband drives my little Toyota
either up into the mountains or out to the ocean, wherever we please.
Early birds
that we are, we prefer to leave before 8:00 on a Saturday morning. After dressing, coffee, animals fed and
situated, we pop into the car and start driving. The morning traffic is light.
The morning sunlight holds the promise of
fun, small adventures, short expeditions.
We visit a
second-hand bookstore in a century-old building. I pop into a bead shop. We peruse antique and western-wear
stores. If I focus on the present
moment, if I leave my work and family concerns alone, I feel such a welling of
gratitude in my soul.
Thankfulness for this lovely country. Gratefulness that I have this chance to get
away.
I hope that
you are able to take a break from your oh-so-daily life.
Just a day, or even an hour that will renew
you.
I know you deserve it!

I love road trips too! But we don't get to do them often enough to suit me. They do make one appreciate this lovely land of ours.
Enjoy your weekend!
What a wonderful day the two of you must have! When we were little we took Sunday drives....all 7 of us and a picnic cooler. I have the most fond memories of those days.
