#12: My Morning Commute

Ever since I became a teacher I've learned to cherish moments of solitude. My morning commute is sometimes the longest stretch of that which I get in a day. I used to live within 10 minutes of my school, and while that had its own perks, I've come to really appreciate my 30 minute drive (at least in the morning).  I listen to the chatter of morning radio shows, reflect on what the day holds for me, and enjoy the bliss of being alone with my thoughts.
