driving into the sunset

I had a very long day.

I was up at 5:00am for work.

I worked in the hot and humid sun until 2:00pm.

Then I had to drive from New York to Pittsburgh - a 6.5 hour drive - with no radio and no air conditioning.

My day ended at 8:30pm.

I started thinking about how I should be complaining, and that it had been a long day.

But I can't stand complainers.

So out of shear boredom, I listed all of the things I was grateful for that day.

I was relieved my 1st event went smoothly.

I was blessed to get out of NY state without ever encountering a Parkway.

I was grateful that every trucker thanked me after I let them over.

I was thankful that every weigh station was closed.

I was relieved that there was no holiday traffic.

I was thankful my truck didn't break down.

I was grateful to be driving toward my family.

I am blessed to be driving westward.

The nightly sunsets on the wide open road are my reward.

Long days and all, I am grateful for this experience!
