OK, OK!
I PROMISE this will be the last time that I go on about my driving, really I do. BUT today I felt like I can actually do it. Even when I passed my test I felt like I didn't really know how to do it-like I was just passing the test. Every time since, whenever I got in the car I felt nervous. I didn't believe that I was actually good enough to be out on the road. But today (perhaps inspired by your dream, Dad) I had the car for the day and I not only very happily drove home from Matt's work (withought my heart thudding in my chest), but went out and did what most other grown up people do every day and take totally for granted. I went and ran errands....picked up some hamster bedding and food from the pet store, went to Walmart to get a few things, went to the supermarket to get a few things, then later dropped Remi at his leaver's party (graduation party) and picked him up again before driving right into peak hour chaos to pick Matt up from work and drive him home. It's not really how much I drove or where I went, but how I felt. I felt that I passed MY drivers test today. For the first time ever I was out and loving it, baby! So that's it from me on my driving. I'm just so chuffed to be where I am....it's a place I thought I'd never get to.

Just needed the help of a good dream, and while speaking of dreaming... google Lucid Dreaming...I suspect that has had a lot to do with what I have achieved this millennium without actually knowing it.
ReplyDeleteNow get back into the car, and I want to hear lots more driving stories, like when you go to that place I emailed you about about a month ago, just for practice... if not for the art and architecture and planning.
love
Dad
