Normally, I am on the road well before dawn if I am going fishing or after 10AM if I am running errands. Today I had an early appointment that put me right in the middle of the morning rush hour. I had forgotten about the chaos of the morning commute, everyone jockeying for position, trying to get a little further up the queue. I suddenly remembered the stress that would begin each day before work even started. Today, I just watched it all around me and smiled. It is great not worrying about being late to work. Not doing this 5 days a week has to be good for a couple of points off of one's blood pressure.
