Merrily We Roll Along...

So, I'm driving home Sunday night. I'm not in a big hurry, but I'm moving along. My mind is preoccupied with the 25 things I need to do when I get home.
Then I see it. Its a car. Its an early model convertible, with 2 white haired people in it..and its going really slow.
Damn it. And on a 2 lane.

I realize that they are out for a Sunday drive, enjoying the open air, maybe something classic on the stereo, and enjoying each other. Its almost dark, and I haven't the heart to ruin their Sunday cruise with my headlights directly behind them. To avoid tail-gating them, now I'm driving 30 miles and hour as well.
Great...
But then something happened. I let all of me slow down. I'm normally the one reminding you to take a look around once in a while, make sure you aren't missing the journey in search of the destination.
I had to be the one reminded this time...
With the summer upon us, there are many opportunities to enjoy the journey. Maybe that's what "The Fork in the Road" is..a look at the journey while en route to the destination.
So, take a look around. Find a local farmers market, if you can, and smell the fruits of summer. Lay by the pool, with plenty of sunscreen, and feel the sunshine. If you live in Fort worth, catch the free fireworks show from the Botanic Gardens every weekend through this month. If you aren't lucky enough to live here, find something that makes you stop, and just breathe in life a little.
