Tom Beaudry and I. We have been in many races together, and too numerous to count training runs. We always pushed each other, and encouraged each other. Some of those runs came back in mind this week. I heard a song again from many years back: “Driver’s Seat” by Sniff ‘n’ tears. Many good lines in that song. “Pick up your feet, Got to move to the trick of the beat, There is no elite, Just take your place in the driver’s seat.” Many runs where we would help each other “pick it up”. That was then, and it really is no different now. We are in the driver’s seat. The driver’s seat of our life!
Any direction you choose! We just have to make sure we choose wisely!
How perfect that this would be with a sunset in the background! Choose what you want to do with your life, and how you want to spend it. Just continue to pay attention to the important things in life. Don’t miss out on what is in front of you!
Enjoy the view along the way. Figure out different ways you can be in the driver’s seat as well. That driver’s seat may be out for a walk, a run, a bike ride, or just sitting and thinking. You are in control steering your life. Sarah and I had a great time riding out on the Mickelson Trail in the Hills this Summer.
We were in control of what we wanted to do! Just like our run group each week. We always help each other “steer” down that road, and help each other “pick it up”.
So what are you waiting for? “Pick up, pick up. Pick up your feet, Gonna dance the day away!”
Remain in the driver’s seat. You are in control of your life. Not all things remain under our control, but the point is to control those parts of it that can be controlled. Enjoy the ride along the way! There are always things that come up in life; some good, some bad. Continue to “pick up your feet”, and keep moving. There is always another way of looking at things in life–as long as you stay in the driver’s seat! Keep moving everybody!
