Rain and freezing rain here in the Midlands of Sunny South Carolina.
As I returned home from work piloting a finicky Chevy aveo.
My wife disarmed me.
After exchanging pleasantries (me struggling with groceries, lunch bag and Tim's current "project bag" a combination of household budget, journals, sketchbook with markers and self improvement material).
Sheryl consumed and in the clutches of Facebook. Pays me an awesome compliment, "did you Blog today?".
I am blown away, I totally forget to tell her that although I have not been exposed to winter driving for almost three years.... I still have it!
As I was coming home I crossed over I-20 via an overpass it"s 32 degrees and although we are surrounded by sand in this state, (one of our largest exports) none is on the road.
As The car starts to break traction I think "this is front wheel drive and I have to steer into it!
I cross the bridge (sideways)thankfully no one is coming as I straighten it I accelerate because if I don't I would have caught dry pavement and been a potential Pt. for Unit#8.
I forget relating my experience because my wife has complimented me and my writing.
She states she looks forward to reading my BLOG's. my only reply......WOW.
Did I mention that she was on Facebook?
Sheryl since we met has gently pushed me to write a book, I have always said that she and my family are just being kind.
However I have reached an understanding of who I am so as I sit here on the couch TV on listening to Craig Morgan sing "Almost Home" I realize that at 48 I am comfortable in my skin and mean it, I am a writer.
Just Freaki'n do it right Sarah!
And Hey if she is just being kind I'm still a writer.
Remember Everyone has a Story.
