Cruising in the 6 Speed With Bruce

Yesterday was a beautiful day. I had to run a couple of small errands, and my husband had taken my car, so I used his. He car is a 6 speed stick shift and goes pretttty fast. The sun was shining so I opened the sun roof. I started flipping through the gears and decided to see what was on the radio. I haven't listened to music in a really long time. My left cranial nerve, damaged by Lyme just can't tolerate it. The radio was just starting to play "Glory Days" by Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band. One of my all time favorite bands. As the music got going and I was throwing the shifter through the gears, suddenly I started singing and I was one the wide open road....the sun shining on my face through the sun roof, the warmth of the heater blowing on me and greatness of Bruce and his guys blasting through the speakers. I forgot about the pain in my back and how tired I was for the entirety of that song. I was having a really good time!

I came home and took long nap, but it was so worth it.
