During my cross-country adventures in the car, I had to endure some challenges on the road. We have the angry guy who loves to give anyone the finger who doesn't move out of his way after tailgating WAY too closely for 30 seconds. Then we have the driver who drives a really old car with questionable tires as fast as they can in a pouring rain storm. Don't even get me started on semi-trucks.I honestly think I'm a very good driver. I do drive pretty quickly overall, but I'm always safe and alert. I'm still skittish when it comes to driving in any weather condition involving precipitation, but I'm definitely better than before. With this in mind, I continuously began to ponder the question....
What makes a driver confident?
Is it confidence in their own skills? Confidence that everyone will get out of their way and do what they want? Or is it just a lack of understanding that they could get seriously hurt or die if they continue to drive so recklessly?
Could it be a combination of two or all the above?
Regardless of the answer to that question, I honestly believe in something: No matter where you are going, your punctuality does not trump another person's life. It's not their fault you didn't allot enough time to get where you're going. Medical emergencies are one thing, but I guarantee that many reckless drivers are not on their way to the ER. I doubt the 17 year-old in a tripped out Ford F-350 is in labor.
No matter what your confidence level, remember that we all share the road and we all have a life story. We're someone's child, friend, sibling, lover, and important to someone somewhere. Let's all calm down just a little and remember we're all on a journey :)

It was hard to pick just one song since I have several best friends :) I feel this really describes my relationship with each. Even though all are similar in some respects, they are all different people. Deep down, the common thread among them is me and my relationship with them. All are great listeners and seem to give me what I need exactly when I need it. I just pray I do the same for them :) So here's to my best friends, in no particular order: Phil, Janet, Chaz, Mikey, Annette, Carrie, Abbey, and Jess. I love you all whole-heartedly! Remember, I'm a lyrics person so check them out ;)
Happy Thursday!
Peace,

So true! Drives me nuts when people are zooming in and out of lanes... all I can think is how dangerous it is and how close they are coming to seriously injuring someone. So scary. Sometimes driving is just so scary when you think about it.
