Dear Arlo,

I guess I am going to be writing you two letters today.  I feel the urge again.  It is a strong urge to get in the car and just drive.  For me that is dangerous because I am never quit sure where I will end up.  I posted this on my Facebook earlier,

“Run, not because it takes you away but because it delivers you somewhere knew.”

And I fully support it.  Some people mistake running as trying to get away from what you are around.  It is more about finding a new way in life.  New is something so great.  I love your dad’s song you sing, “’Ramblin Round.”  Sometimes I feel like I am either cursed and gifted a life of restlessness.  Which one I can’t be sure.  I feel it though.  So often the feeling is so strong and I am not certain it will ever be a feeling that will leave me.  I guess only time will tell if it is a good thing or bad.  For me right now though, it doesn’t seem bad.  It seems beautiful.  And as the sun rises in the morning I feel the highway whispering, “I’m here.” and as the night dawns I hear the neon light’s shouting, “Aren’t you ready.”

Don’t they say those who wonder must wander?  It took me years to get up the nerve to write a blog and continue on daily, I don’t believe it is going to take me that long to wander.

Sincerely Your Fan,
Brittani
