“Such a nice day - out all day up in the Carter Notch direction, trout-fishing, with the long drive there and the long drive home again in time for supper. It was a lovely brook and I caught seven good trout and one small one - which eight trout-persons you should have for your breakfast if only you were near enough. It was not alone the fishing, but the delightful loneliness and being out of doors.” IfsShouldPersonsLongEnoughHomeNiceDoorsLonelinessShould HaveSevenCaughtEightLovelyFishingBreakfastDelightfulNot AloneCarterBrooksSupperTroutNotchesNice DayTrout FishingLong Drive Book:Letters of Sarah Orne Jewett Source: Letters of Sarah Orne Jewett
“Sometimes a rural life - without agricultural culture, community, or land - it means that you're a very long drive from everything. It's a big cultural isolation in terms of any kind of schooling where you could get exposed to things that might push the positive buttons. The geography of where people find themselves situated, both in metropolises and in the heartland, really starts to matter.” PeopleHeartKindMeanLongSometimesMatterBigsMightCultureTermCommunityLandIsolationExposedButtonsGeographySchoolingRural LifeLong Drive Author:Debra Granik
“Practice being kind to yourself in small, concrete ways. Look at your refrigerator. Are you feeding yourself nicely? Do you have socdks? An extra set of sheets? What about a new house plant? A thermos for the long drive to work? Allow yourself to pitch out some of your ragged clothes. You don't have to keep everything.” WayLooksKindLongHousePracticeClothesPlantProsperityExtrasBe KindConcreteSheetsFeedingRefrigeratorsRaggedThermosLong Drive Author:Julia Cameron

“Who else is going?" I asked. He shrugged. "Just you and me." My mood promptly shot up past 'cheerful' and went straight to 'estatic.' Me and Dimitri. Alone. In a car. This might very well be worth a surprise test. "How far is it?" Silently, I begged for it to be a really long drive. Like, one that would take a week. And would involve us staying overnight in luxury hotels. Maybe we'd get stranded in a snowbank, and only body heat would keep us alive. "Five hours" "Oh." A bit less than I'd hoped for. Still, five hours was better than nothing. It didn't rule out the snowbank possibility, either.” WellsLongStillsBodyMightPastBitsHoursFiveAliveWeekCarPossibilityShotsTestsSurpriseMoodLuxuryHeatHotelStayingCheerfulReally LongDimitriStrandedBody HeatLuxury HotelsLong Drive Author:Richelle Mead
