Take Time To Enjoy The Ride

This morning I left early to journey east.  The still of the morning was broken only by singing birds and the scratch of the squirrels.

I got on the parkway and left the windows down allowing the sweet smell of the morning in.  I flipped on the radio like I've done since I started driving.  The song that was playing took me back to the first time I drove by myself.  The feeling of freedom, happiness and satisfaction came to me like a long lost friend and I couldn't help but smile and be grateful for that moment.
