Commuting and being thankful

Last week I went to training for four days.  I am usually excited about training -- sitting and learning, doing exercises and relaxing is always a dream, but this time it seemed more a chore.   The training was in Schaumburg.  I was forced to trade in my 15 minute walk for a 45 minute morning drive and a 1.5 hour white-knuckle crawl home.   I went to the same place back in August but don't recall the traffic being so bad.  I am glad it is over.   Sometimes it takes being forced out of your routine to really appreciate what you have.
