Reflections From a Country Girl

I have always taken an airplane when I travel if at all possible.  This time, I am driving to NYC to pick up my son and his belongings.  I set out on this adventure early Sunday morning.  

About eight hours later I will reach my friends, Mike and Missys’, home near Washington.  There I will visit with them, spend the night, and leave the next morning for NYC. I have never been to their home but have been to that part of the world before…particularly Manassas. It’s a part of the world rich in history. 

I love driving and consider myself an assertive driver.  I understand I will really need all those skills as I drive down the NJ Turnpike and into the city.  Part of me is a little intimidated by the thought of it.  The other part of me is excited to meet the challenge…especially with a South Carolina license tag on the car. 

I’m sure to have stories to tell.  

I had planned on renting a hotel room in Brooklyn for the night.  My son and his friends had different thoughts. They want me to stay with them so I will be staying with a bunch of young men in their place.  That, too, should be interesting.  

Monday evening we go to hear “Paul Simon and Philip Glass: A Conversation” and then he wants to take me into the city for a bit of night life.  

“Bring your walking shoes.”  He said. 

I’m getting too old for this…

My wish for you today is that you step out of your comfort zone a bit when the time is right.  Be safe, but be bold and experience life to the fullest.
