Enjoying the Ride

I don’t have much of a commute these days unless you count my trip to the home office, formerly our dining room. But on Tuesdays and Thursdays, I drive Roy, our three-legged foster dog about 20 miles roundtrip for training and daycare.

Each time, I pass a field of prairie grass, weeds, and I’m sure more than a few invasive plant species, cast in the bright glow of sunrise. Every day, I think, I should stop and snap a photo of this. Yesterday I did.

Roy has five more weeks of training. This means ten more times driving past this field. I look forward to seeing how the view evolves into late fall and perhaps the first frost.

This won’t be the last time I stop for a photo. It’s a reminder for me to enjoy the journey, no matter how strange and challenging the days and to start with each beautiful moment that makes up each day.

I hope you enjoy your daily drive or trip to your home office. What’s your favorite recent view of the world?
