I love her description of things she sees as she is driving, perhaps things she didn't notice when her husband was alive. She is describing things as though she is seeing them for the first time. It is sad, but it sometimes takes an earth shattering change in your life, whether it be the death of a spouse or divorce after years of marriage. When you slowly feel like you can make it on your own, you do see differently and feel more deeply. You don't take things for granted and you become more attuned to other people and more sympathetic. I'm looking forward to the next excerpt.
