There can be all kinds of magic around us, if you're open to it, watching for it. Sometimes its in the little things, a baby's smile, a butterfly that floats past, a beautiful sunrise or even a tree.
And sometimes you behave to dig to find the magic. A two hour solo road trip can feel daunting. But the best way around it, for me, is to load up old music on the mp3 player. And then singing along. Loudly!! The miles just fly by!
I attach memories to music, that's just how I'm wired. "Come a little bit closer you're my kind of man, so big and so strong.. ." (Ron) or "This much I know is true that God bless the broken road and led me straight to you" (Chuck). Another song by an artist I hadn't heard of, Joshua Kadison, "You will always be beautiful in my eyes and the passing years will show that you will always grow evermore beautiful in my eyes." (JavaJoe).
Even the old 60s country hits by great singers like Johnny Cash, Tammy Wynette or Buck Owens.... That's some good tunes!
We all get busy doing "stuff". I'm guilty of just that with Mom stuff. I needed this trip to remind me to find the magic! Don't forget to find your own!
