It’s time for my annual trip to the mountains and I can’t wait to get there! As soon as I hit Interstate 40 headed into Asheville, I can feel the muscles in my neck start to relax. Just knowing what lies ahead is exhilarating and relaxing at the same time. My mind usually starts to wander while I recall all my favorite places to visit and my anticipation steadily starts to grow. The Smoky Mountains start to rise up around me forming a protective cocoon. I roll down my car window and slowly inhale the cool, clean mountain air. My drive starts to turn into a series of left and right turns as I start to climb the mountain, and I can feel my heart start to beat a little faster. I begin to see the familiar landmarks and I pull over at the scenic overlooks to gaze at the magnificent rolling hills. The beauty alone is overwhelming, but this time I’m here for more. I’m here to learn about the people. The mountain people whose families have lived here for generations. I’m hoping to embark on a life’s lesson I hope to never forget.
