Driver Ed

Remember driver ed class?  They taught us all to "see the BIG PICTURE" while behind the wheel.  Look forward, backward , up, down...all around.

It's also good advice for life.

It sure is easy to get all wound up in the minutiae of our lives...like we're the only thing that matters on this spinning, round ball.

When I start feeling just a little too special, I drive down to the highway and watch five million cars, bumper to bumper, inching along to who knows where.  All those people...all their problems...all their working and striving and sweating and crying and earning and spending with just a few moments thrown in each week for some laughter and love.

And then I feel better because it forces me to once again see the BIG PICTURE.

And here it is: life is short.

We blow down the road with the top back and our hair on fire racing toward what we hope will give us happiness.

Here's an idea that will help.  Turn on your blinker.  Exit.  Pull over somewhere shady.  Turn off the motor.  Then take a great big breath.

Now isn't that better?  It's called LIVING.

Peace and love to you.  You deserve it!
