The Long Road Home

This morning it was time to leave the peacefulness of the hot springs, and head back to the reality of wedding planning and kid raising.  I dropped the bride off at her parents' house, and then made the hour long drive home.  I hadn't spent that much time alone in my car in ages, and it was almost more relaxing than the springs had been.  I played my music loud, and sang along without being interrupted.  The wide New Mexico sky spread out around me, the blue interrupted only by a fine line of clouds on the horizon.  I slipped into that peaceful state of driving a long empty road allows, and felt truly rested and relaxed.  By the time I pulled into town I was refreshed, and ready to be a mom again.  All thanks to my beautiful solo drive.
