Lessons From a Lincoln


Continental Town Car, originally uploaded by mlchunko.

This Lincoln Continental Town Car sits on the back of Bob's farm yard, behind a fairly new Chevy truck with dualies and big mud flaps, about two and a half miles from town. It's just sitting there, a reminder that it once was new and though still in decent shape, hasn't had a road under it for awhile. At one time this car either sat in a showroom or on a lot where someone spotted it and decided to drive it home. Its journey from that point to this would be an interesting tale, I'm sure. Sort of like life - how did we get from our starting place to where we are now? The next important question is whether or not we would have altered courses along the way. At this point in my life, I'm rather content with who I am and where life finds me. Things could be better, but things could be worse. I'm blessed with family, friends, and flickr contacts.

Blessing with contentment - quite a life lesson from a Lincoln out back of the barn, I would say.
