reminds me of that country song “makes me wanna take the backroads” - something about those two lane highways is indeed relaxing

I think that Tim McGraw song is on every hour on the hour around here…put some gravel in my travel…it’s the time of year for windows-down driving.
I loved this post… when we travel we LOVE getting off the interstates and going on the back roads… the scenery is usually so pristine and pastoral and we find interesting places to stop. Even though I now live out west, when I’m back in Pennsylvania where I grew up I love to be out driving on the country roads.

I hope you have a chance to repeat experiences of sheer being like these. Why is it so hard for us, once we “discover” that we can spend our time so wonderfully, to keep on making space for recharging activities like these in our lives? It’s just so easy to get bogged down in what we think we “should” be doing instead. And we wonder why our lives seem so overloaded and so gray…

It’s so important to spend a quiet time for yourself whether you’re in the bathtub, your room, driving in your car or just walking in the park. My little moments come when my precious girl falls asleep at night and I get to just stare at the beauty in front of me.

Ever heard of the book, “My Monastary is a Minivan”? (It’s great, by Denise Roy from Loyola Press) - I just love the title. I completely identify with it - some of my holiest time is in my van driving from kid thing to kid thing. Whether I am praying the rosary, singing the chaplet along with my cd, or listening to catholic radio - sometimes it’s my best opportunity for a holy moment. And yes, it can be sheer bliss… Thanks for sharing that, Rachel.
