Traffic has it perks


So this was my view on my way home.  Yay for me, right?  Yeah right.  I don't make a habit out of it, but sometimes I can get a bit, shall we say.....stank, when finding myself stuck in traffic.   But on the plus side I've discovered that I do some of my best thinking during that time.  First its the usual thought of  "So if an earthquake hit right now......what would I do?"  After that's out of the way I start noticing the other drivers and how they look and act towards each other.  I also notice the many homeless people walking the streets.  Before I know it my attitude has changed and can you believe it?  ....I'm even letting people go ahead of me!  .....and why not?  We're all stuck in the same traffic anyways, its not like we're going anywhere at the moment.  In the end the experience leaves me feeling very mellow and appreciative of the fact that I can afford to be slightly inconvenienced by something as minor as traffic.  Instead of major inconveniences like poverty, sickness or homelessness.
