Building Forward Momentum...

While driving on the freeway to meet a friend for dinner Friday night, I was passed by two SUV's. They were obviously close travel companions as they stayed near each other and both bore Virginia plates. The larger front one was black, the smaller rear one white.

They were clean, bright and un-embellished but for one thing: the black SUV bore one window sticker, centered in its back window and visible to all who might follow it. There--in a clean, bright white that connected it to the partner SUV--was a simple message: FORGIVEN.
No picture, not even the clever turn of a phrase to give the idea panache.
Just one word, because when traffic moves, there's no time to read much on a window sticker, and besides...
That one word said all that needed saying.
And although it may sound a little trite, that moment spoke of many others that brighten my countenance.
