The Old Hwy.2

a.k.a.  the Apple Trail, the Wine Route, the 1000 Island Parkway, the Heritage Hwy.
There is something to be said, about maturing in nature, such that one chooses to take the slower road of a long distance journey.  It was 11 hours of bliss; grace.  400 series highways, good-bye!
The lime-green Ford Fiesta pulled a U-haul trailor today, from Owen Sound to Cornwall, ON.  It possed a bunch of questions, the biggest being, does one dare to take it on the 401 at speeds of 100k/hr fighting transport trucks and many lanes of fast moving traffic?  The answer was "no".
The choice of leisure and more time, translated into beautiful God-filled scenery, meeting lovely people, no traffic, seeing flowers, old houses, heritage sites, quaint villages, animals (wild turkey mom and young, oodles of Canada Geese, hens in yards, goats, sheep, lots of horses); alone time between two people who love each other...it was a happy trail.  One that showed life, was full of life, and renewed life.
Today's lesson: slow down, choose leisure and take more time; it equals renewed life! Grace.
