In May, June and July, the trip to my daughter’s will be made in the light – the predawn sky will be pale, not black, when I leave the house early in the morning. I appreciate the dawn.
I enjoy those drives – where I am not straining to see, not dealing with snow. It is relaxing to make the drive this time of year and I do some of my best thinking on the road, alone in the car…when I’m not singing, of course. I appreciate the early morning quiet.
True confession here – I recently realized I am spoiled. While I loved my little yellow car, the peepmobile, I missed having a fob that allowed me to pop the trunk or unlock the doors by pushing a button. And cruise control. I appreciate all the little doo-dads on my new used car that will make the trip more pleasant.
Looking back at my cars over the years – vinyl seats, metal dashboards, rust and rattles, no air conditioning – I realized just how blessed I am to have decent and very comfortable transportation. I appreciate being able to drive, having the means to make the trip.
I’m feeling very grateful today. Very blessed.
