After 11 days of driving with pauses to visit along the way, I arrived on the east coast at my daughter’s home. I didn’t stop to take many photos especially during the last few days of driving since I was just eager to get to my destination.
It was a good trip. Several of the nights were spent with friends and family, and the others were at hotels. Every morning I looked forward to getting back on the road again; listening to my playlist, and watching the scenery change. From the Rocky Mountains, to the prairies, to the rolling hills and lakes of Manitoba and Ontario, to the big cities of Toronto and Montreal, and the amazing beauty of the maritimes, each part of our country is uniquely beautiful.
One of the songs I listened to daily was “Starting Over”, by Chris Stapleton. The first phrase is “Well, the road rolls out like a welcome mat”. Nothing past that first phrase applies to my situation in life, but the phrase became almost a mantra for me. With each curve in the road or hill I travelled over, I could see more welcome mat in front of me.
Perspectives can change. I no longer thought of how many kilometres I still had to drive, as much as I thought of the welcome I would be receiving both where I stayed each night, and at my final destination.
Reflections 
Lucky you to be able to see all that country side as you make your way across Canada. Beautiful Country! Safe travels.
