believe it can be done.

I continue to discover the road to happiness. a highway that is winding. dotted with beautiful scenery. tacky souvenir shops. bleak landscapes. luscious views. pot-holed. smooth and newly paved. hilly. straight. sharp bends. where I can speed along. slow down. use caution. drive with reckless abandon. and loving care.

I have always wanted a jeep. nothing fancy. not even new. I prefer the older models with the removable canvas top [I do have two requirements however … a) that it is equipped with a dock for my iPod because what is the journey without a little music and b) that it is fitted with a vanity plate because everyone deserves to share their quirky individuality]. a vehicle that is not all that practical but downright cool. not overly spacious but roomy enough to hold me, a friend, a dog or two, a duffel bag, a picnic blanket and a cooler. not too big or too small. just right to take on life’s adventures or keep mundane tasks less so. something that will make the most of every trip. and make the journey so much more enjoyable.

I think if I adopt that jeep mentality I can travel the road of life a bit more smoothly. I believe it can be done. to live a life of nothing fancy. not all the time practical but downright cool. big enough to hold me and those I love, furry and otherwise. savor the adventure and the routine. mind the rules. have fun. carefully. consciously. considerately. travel with a song in my heart.

peace.
