Kick back and enjoy the ride!

When circumstances have you pigeon holed and no where to go, kick back and enjoy the ride.

On a beautiful summer day, our family of motor heads decided to take a small excursion to the mountains. On the way back we were stopped along a very tight canyon because of an accident. At first we were fidgety and thinking of ways to get out of the canyon the quickest. We could turn around and backtrack to the highway about 30 miles in heavy traffic or sit it out while the emergency crew did their job. We opted to stay put and wait it out. While we waited a red classic convertible approached behind us and the boys got to admire another great piece of machinery besides their motorcycles. The girls chatted and we all got to stop and admire the scenic setting around us. The river was roaring and you could hear it clearly. You could see the ragged detailing in the harsh rock, trees of all sizes and shapes dotted the roadside and you could see the petals of the summer flowers gently flutter in the breeze.

And not long after we stopped it was time to get moving again (funny thing is if we would have backtracked we would have come out the same or even added time on the travel down the mountain) The little roadside rest was actually what we needed. After a long ride and concentrating on the curves ahead you can get tired and not really see the beauty all around. So when life stops you, STOP! It's not always best to squirm and scheme a new path. We don't need to keep moving, going, striving. Rest is there for a reason. So just sit back and enjoy!
