Time Out

Every so often it is important to take time out, do something you love to do. I love to drive, just drive and drive. Hop on any road, experience the beauty. If the sun is shining, appreciate how it makes the snow sparkle, sparkles like diamonds. If the sun doesn't shine, stop and look for animal tracks on virgin snow, rabbit, deer, fox tracks…they usually end up at their nest. Imagine the comfort in their nest! Newborns, babies all snuggled up keeping warm. Find an old building in the middle of nowhere, see if you can access it and feel the life it once shared. Find a wheat field that hasn't been cut and watch how the wheat bends with the wind. When you see a red wing black bird, stop and listen to its song. Check out the mailboxes on country roads, they are so much fun! Just hop on a road, drive. Who cares where it takes you. Appreciate all that it has to offer. Somehow, you'll get back on to the main road; back on track, very much like life isn't it? You stray a bit, get off track, experience and learn, then get back on track….go figure! Have fun!
