Inspired

I really really wish I was typing this on a real keyboard! On my phone my thoughts cannot be fully explained.
I took the "back" way from Pleasant Hill to Elk Grove today and I had a mind, heart and soul awakening journey.The sun was so warm it felt like I was getting a tan through my jeans, the landscape was so sprawling I could see for miles. The roads were not perfect and had thousands of seam lines and potholes. There was little traffic and even when the cars were going 55 on a one lane highway there was never any urge to pass. I found peace in the fallen silos and abandoned farm equipment. I found appreciation in the land to which so many people work so hard to provide food and water. I went back to being 9 and playing hide and seek in bails of hay and imagining a Lewis and Clark adventure behinds trees and fallen fences.
I am relieved to say this was an awakening for me. The winters have made a trend of getting the best of me and I am thankful for the life injected into my bones today. Although I can't say that I am completely fixed nor have I figured the cure for my indecisive, impatient, sadly unmotivated self-I was able to be reminded that I do have depth and heart for many thing.
Today, I took the road less traveled and it has made all the difference.
