Ever had those moments when driving home from somewhere, and you replay the conversations in your head?

You know, all the stuff you perhaps wanted to say, and didn't?

The funny oneliners that pop into your head now?

Even when you on the way to something important, and you practise what you are going to say, and then when you get there...words vacate the premises, or you say something so lame, even you look at yourself in a strange way??


I am thinking I may start carrying a steering wheel in my handbag...I better need to get a bigger bag...laugh

I only have to go to bed and it starts.

I can't sleep then.

But it has an advantage, I don't need a handbag for it.grin

What is that???

I wonder why we do it???


I drive so many miles, and it is all open country roads, so my mind can wander off without me...and it seems most of the 'good stuff' comes up then...

See, I don't drive and so I never really get at the steering wheel.

My mind takes every opportunity to go wandering, so it's hard to limit it

to a certain item.doh

Funny how the world turns...

Driving to a leaving, knowing this is last time I will share space

with this person, in these bodies...watching the miles slide under

the windscreen, and allowing thoughts to wander and alight where

they needed to...


Preparing a scenario in my mind's eye, visualising what it would

look like..


And being clueless to the reality...


And what a different journey home, night miles, invisible...not a

thought, not a steering wheel in sight.

Still, it is hard to process and speak to the steering wheel, about

what it was, and what I may have said differently.

Or what I didn't need to do differently.

I even sat in the van for a time this morning, thought it may help

me process things a little easier...

I love driving...and the places the steering wheel takes me...even

when parked in the street.
