Fall is coming to an end. My husband and I decided we needed to go on one last road trip before fall was really over. The Enjoy the Journey Organic T-Shirt was perfect for the occasion. The relaxed shirt is a gorgeous plum-cranberry color with a hand-drawn turtle and the words “Enjoy the Journey” across the front.
My husband grew up in the country—a tiny town with no stoplights. You have to drive to the next town just to get gas or candy. He lived in the same house all his life, as did his dad, while his grandpa lived next door. It’s so different from where I grew up. Everything goes a little bit slower. Everything feels simpler, easier, and more relaxed. It’s the perfect place to escape the busy pace of everyday life.
I decided to follow the words of the shirt and enjoy the journey—to take it all in, notice the little details, and simply relax. That mindset came in handy when our ATV battery died during a four-wheeler trip into the desert. We were stuck about 10 miles outside of town, but thankfully we still had cell service.
We explained our location to my husband’s dad and uncle and hoped they could find us. We only had the afternoon to do everything we had planned, and this could easily have ruined the entire day. But I decided to enjoy the journey. I suggested that we simply start walking back.
We laughed, talked, and simply walked through the world. I watched ants carrying branches to their home and noticed the wildflowers, plants, and trees around us. I realized that if we hadn’t broken down, we never would have experienced that peaceful walk. Sometimes the unexpected moments become the best memories.
Peace,
Heather
