Every day I drive down the same lane to get home, and every day I realize once I'm in the door, I don't recall much of the drive, if any on the way home. Seems sometime I get so busy trying to balance it all, in the car, answering a phone call, dropping books back at the library, passing back a snack to my daughter, trying to keep from spilling on myself as I suck up the caffine that keeps me going, did I grab the packages I'll need to drop at the post office in the morning, singing a little Hanna Montana or the ABC song... major multi tasking taking place in the vehicle! NOTE: This truck is not my vehicle- this is a truck that captures my eye when I drive by. I don't know what it is about it, but pack pic nic with a blanket, bottle of wine, cheese, apples and chocolate ~ find a spot in a medow and I'm certain there is a romantic story to be told. (hopeless romantic? ya think!) Might wanna grab a cell phone too... I don't know how far this baby would make it...although with the right person, it really wouldn't matter if you were stuck somewhere..... Today
, It was a bit different... I was going to have the snow tires removed and no one opted to go with me. I had a "free hour" and thought I'd take advantage and change over the tires, wash the car and savor the opportunity to see where it is I've been, where I am going. Upon my drive home, down the very muddy road in my freshly washed car I drove very slowly...taking in the view around me. Ironically I drive past some of these things daily, past them, never really seeing them. Silly I suppose that I found them entertaining enough to pull out my camera and take photos... I walked down the lane where I enjoyed watching the guy next door eat hay. In the moment it was like therapy before entering The House Of Chaos that I call home. Days like today remind me how much I must miss out on, be it things along the way, people who cross my path, or moments shared that I take for granted... I have decided that I'll pack my camera more often. If only as a reminder to myself to not just see what I am surrounded by, but be aware of it....capture it, be it in my lens or in my heart.... or be captured by it...
