Springtime Driving

This past week I was down in Texas, helping my dad take care of some things he needed done. This is a quick trip, meaning I drove down, spent a couple of days helping out, and then drove back home. All in all, less than a full week.

When I travel like this, particularly in the Spring, I really enjoy the trip. The green grass, the fresh air, the trees and flowers are great. Everything combines to make me grateful for the world in which we live. It really is awesome, as in awe inspiring.

I hope that your week is off to a good start and that you enjoy the tips in this week's newsletter.
