Early Morning Drive
I have various routes that I can take to get to school. Of the options, I enjoy taking the back roads. It takes me about 5 extra minutes to get to work but I don’t mind. Why?
Because…
I enjoy driving on the overarching tree lined roads.
I like the curves of the back roads.
I enjoy having fewer cars on the road.
I enjoy driving past the farms and watching the sun rise over the fields.
I have had to stop while chickens cross the road. It’s true!
I enjoy the quiet of the early drive.
Those 5 extra minutes set the tone for the day.
I can totally relate; I, too, took the ‘back roads’ when commuting to teaching, loving the curve of one road alongside a creek. It sets you up for a better day, I am convinced.
Your longer route sounds lovely! What a peaceful way to start the day.
So true! I’d pick that option for sure! Love the way you describe the things you see along the drive that make it enjoyable.
Ha! I also wrote about my ride into work today and I prefer waking up a few minute early so that I can go the longer, prettier way. Maybe we drive the same way? I also pass farms and am able to see the sunrise each day.
