      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We rented a Ford Mustang and hit the road out of town. When we accelerated onto the freeway, the look on Pond’s face was priceless as she exclaimed “oooh!”</p>

<p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/lonelyradio/54371583497/in/album-72177720324303744" title="side mirror view, pylons in the distance" rel="nofollow"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54371583497_db620f4efa_z.jpg" width="640" height="480" alt="side mirror view, pylons in the distance"/></a></p>

<p>I queued some appropriate songs. The landscape sped past. Moving onto some side roads, we pulled the top down and enjoyed feeling like ... somebody else.</p>

<p>We had a quiet lunch in a popular country town and, returning home, felt like the world had taken on a slightly different quality – just for a day.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/lonelyradio/54372457486/in/album-72177720324303744" title="Pond wearing a hat, crouching near the front of the car" rel="nofollow"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54372457486_72169c8c52_z.jpg" width="640" height="425" alt="Pond wearing a hat, crouching near the front of the car"/></a></p>

<p>I hadn’t considered just <em>how</em> different it would feel, though, and I wonder how we might experiment like this in other ways to bring other little sparks of joy into our life.</p>
