Good morning my dream of a DU family,

Many, many, many years ago, 41 to be exact, I got one of the best pieces of advice of my entire life, in Drivers Ed.
Whenever you drive, look at and read the street signs, the business names, notice the cool stuff that can make any trip memorable simply because you trained your eye to notice.
I wish you have a day filled with soul impacting images that your eyes show you because you decided this morning that you want to be amazed today.
Have a dream if a day DU!
Love, John

I wonder if it’s pet-friendly. If so, I’m on my way to Casey, Illinois!

Thank you so much for sharing that video, Emile!

As a life-long curiouser and curiouser Alice, I often have to tell myself out loud to focus on the road when I’m driving. But don’t want to miss any important images. Lol.

Keep sharing your morning words of wisdom with our dreamy DU family, John.
