December 5--12 Blocks of 50

On the road again, I just can't wait to get on the road again.  --Willie Nelson

    I leave Ohio today, destination Wentzville, Missouri, for an overnight stay with my in-laws. I have an audiobook and crunchy foods to keep me awake as I move through those 12 blocks of 50 miles. It is nice to get the bigger part of the trip done first, then the second day is merely 8 blocks of 50 miles. (You already did the math, didn't you?!?!) 

    There are several family members whom I get to see only by making this trip. While the roads run west as well as east, I have always been the one to travel to them rather than the other way 'round. This trip has been a good motivator for me to regain my stamina and fully recover from the sciatica mess, as my niece will be retiring from teaching in a couple years and we want to travel together. I've also had a good dose of feeling happy, which is a feeling I plan to return to often (see Nov 29 post on keeping a grateful heart). 

    Time to "start my engine!"
