WHAT IF

The traffic was more than crazy on I-95 going south.
We were ready for it tho~
All day the thruway was congested.
First there was an overturned truck and then holiday traffic.
But we were prepared as we rode high in the truck, gazing at the folks we passed.
I like sitting high in the truck.
I feel" bigger "than all the other folks.
We sat and listened to a CD, talked about our plans for turkey Day,
shared thoughts about what we are thankful for...
Wondered what the difference is between being thankful and grateful?
Then it started...
What if?
What if we could go back a few years?
What if we had the power to change folks?
What if we had money?
What if there were no disease?
We played "what if" for an hour.
We drove in and out of the third lane, slowed down for the blinking cop car lights and stood at a standstill while on the bridge.
"What if', we remarked to one another.
It turned into a game.
What if we hadn't laughed at the things that came to mind?
Would we be playing road rage?
Happy Thanksgiving folks,
What if the Pilgrims killed a donkey for Thanksgiving dinner.
HA! HA!
Be nice.
