My wish for you

I had a little cry on the way home from work yesterday, a happy one.
I was driving up a steep road when that most dreaded of things popped out in front of me - a learner driver. She valiantly maintained her speed of 15kph to the top of the road when thankfully she turned left and I turned right. We've all been there. It reminded me of taking Marleze to Plattekloof, when the suburb was still being built, we went down a road into a cul-de-sac. One way out, up the deadly incline. We both giggled nervously, Marleze took up the challenge bravely and we were out onto the flat road.
That in turn reminded me of the trip to the cheese farm. Sion was about 16 or 17, a long while ago. I think we were five in the car, a black and silver Ford Fairlane. When we reached the farm road, in the drizzle, it was hard to tell where the road went so Sion was sent to investigate. Well, he took three or four steps and disappeared, the hill was steep. Down we went, to the cheese farm only to discover two things. A. the cheese was at a farmers market and B. the way into the farm was also the way out.
The road was made of a sort of slippery clay, rutted and bumpy from rain and no doubt countless vehicles trying to escape.
I stopped at the bottom of the hill, engine idling, if it was an animation my dear car would have been pawing the ground like a stallion. I selected first gear, we all laughed in fear and I started the climb. Unfortunately, the man on a bicycle who suddenly appeared was on the same track as us, his eyes were also wide with fright, it was a scary game of chicken, one of us had to stop and folks, it wasn't going to be us, we didn't want to slide downhill and have to start all over again. He must have seen the steely determination in my eyes because he just threw himself and bike into a ditch to allow us to pass. Thankfully he was unhurt.
And so the stories came to mind, lots to remember.
You know how it is when your eyes tear over because the memories are fun and happy and wow, life has been good? That's the stuff to hold on to.
So, my wish for you on this first day of spring/autumn is that you may always remember the good times and let the bad times fade away.
