I don't normally consider myself a Type A sort of personality, but there is something about sitting in traffic that just makes my blood boil! Eventually I realized that no amount of fuming and stress was going to get things moving again, so I might as well multi-task. I would work on lesson plans or grading if I had my school bag with me, or sometimes just daydream (which I kind of think is a lost art). This is a great reminder that life is always happening - everywhere. Perhaps the universe is just insisting that we stop and see every now and again.

I've tried, but my commute just stresses me out too much. I live about 35 miles from my work, but with city traffic and construction it can take me anywhere from 1 hour and 10 minutes to 2 hours each way. It really wears on me. Yesterday, for example, I had a scheduled appointment after work. I even left work a little early to give myself some extra time. What would normally be a 35 minute trip from my office to the appointment took an hour and a half. Oh the frustration! I wish I could be that relaxed about traffic!

It almost makes me wish traffic would last just a little longer. Almost!
