Easily Amused

"We should come home from adventures, and perils, and discoveries every day with new experience and character." Henry David Thoreau

Is it the sign of a small, easily amused mind, that I get a kick out of my car turning over 200,000 miles? My poor little car is falling apart: the paint is wearing through; the trunk latch is broken and is secured by bungee cords; the noise it makes when turning is absolutely painful to hear. My kids call it my "ghetto car." But is was once my mom's car and, crazy as it sounds, I feel her presence every day as I am driving around. For better or worse, I inherited her spirit of wanderlust and adventure. I am the Doña Quixote of ordinary adventures.

Love you, Lif!
