Sunday Drive

I think a positive side effect of the pandemic is the appreciation of the little things and being forced to slow down. While running our errands in Boulder on Friday, things took longer than necessary, but we all just rolled with it. No need to stress out as there was no reason we needed to be rushing around. 

On Sunday, we forgot our state park pass and had to turn around and get it and because of that, the drive seemed longer, but no reason to stress out. Preparing for our state park trip gives us something to focus on and prepare for - things that would be a drag a few weeks ago. Now, it is something to look forward to.  The RC boat did not make an appearance for the second week in a row, but we all just moved on. On our third drive through attempt, we finally found a place without a line to get our ice cream treat. Once again, things that would have been potentially frustrating in the past resulted in us determined, not upset. You can start to appreciate the simple pleasure of going for a drive - taking in new scenery and spending times with your loved ones - definitely things that will not go out of fashion.
