You should know, my favorite flower is the lilac. Sometimes I wake up and there is a vase of lilacs on my dresser because my husband went out early to pick them for me. They used to be in my yard, but my black thumb has killed them all (which makes me wonder where he is getting those lilacs - hmm!!).
Anyways, I still have my car but have not driven it in 4 days. Turn in day is 6/2. With that being said, I decided to combine my morning run with my Thursday morning women's bible study. It is 2 miles away, so why not!
The run was beautiful. There had to have been a million lilac bushes along the way, something I did NOT notice each time I drove there. The fragrance was amazing, fueling me on my run.
On the way home I took another way to experience a different path. I was presented with even more lilacs. It was like God (or the universe, spirit world, mother nature - whatever you are into) said "hey, thanks for not driving today - here is a gift just for you." Well, thanks God, I appreciated the beauty during my run.
What could you possibly be missing while you are driving?

Ah Kristen, I'm with you....lilacs are the most wonderful things and very hard to find in So Cal. Both the beauty and the intoxicating scent would elude you whizzing by in your Mercedes. Thank you for a moment of vicarious enjoyment!
