In 2 hours, 27 minutes I can drive to San Diego or fold close to 6 loads of laundry or prepare, cook and clean up a nice dinner or watch one of my children's baseball games or take a Zumba class and shower after or make a Costco run or have a nice visit with a friend...the list can go on.

Instead today, I sat in 2 hours, 27 minutes of traffic on my way to work. Ugh! I was so discouraged, frustrated, stressed about being late to work and totally frazzled apon my tardy (by 30 minutes!) arrival to work. This 2 hours, 27 minutes did give me my time with the Lord as I listened to our Easter sermon (was present that day, but the message was AMAZING...as usual!), listen to worship music AND a super great surprised lengthy call from my dad. I loved the time I got to visit with both Father's, just wish it was over coffee! ;-)

My day has sinced chilled out a bit, but I have still missed an hour of paid work for today...BIG bummer. :-/
